Management Book of the Year Competition
On 4 March, World Book Day, CMI in association with the British Library launched a new competition to raise awareness of how management theories and thinking can be better applied in practice. The Management Book of the Year competition will aim to uncover the UK’s best books on management – those which will help transform the working practices of managers. Its goal is to raise the profile of the great management writing being produced by UK authors and bring it to a wider audience, demonstrating the relevance and impact of management research on the UK economy.
Publishers and authors can enter books across three competition categories, ‘Practical Manager’, ‘Innovation and Entrepreneurship’ and ‘Digital Management Book’. Management Book of the Year is also the first book competition to have a category dedicated to digital books. There is a dedicated micro-site at http://www.managementbookoftheyear.org.ukwhich provides comprehensive information.

Trial article recommender service
Please check out our new SHU Links article recommender service known as bX, available on SHU Links menus from 5 March. We have bX on trial until April 1 and we need your feedback to help us evaluate it and decide whether to keep it as a regular service.
It is similar to the Amazon and other recommender services which you may have come across on the internet:
e.g. "Customers who bought this item also bought …"
When you search for a journal article and get the corresponding SHU Links menu, the new bX service shows you other academic material, mainly e-journal articles, which various other users also consulted when they linked to this particular journal article. You will see the text "People who consulted this item also looked at ... " followed by a list of articles which may be helpful to your search. Some of these will offer the article full text and some won't but may still be of interest for follow up.
These "recommendations" are computed from a large external database containing the anonymized article usage information contributed by hundreds of other libraries with the same software as SHU Links. Sometimes there won't be any recommendations but results are continually improving as the usage database grows bigger over time.
When you’ve tried it, we would be grateful if you could pass on your views about this service in one of the following ways:
• the SHU Links feedback form (on any SHU Links menu)
• an email to Alison Lahlafi a.e.lahalfi@shu.ac.uk

RefWorks for Alumni
Previously, graduates of SHU have been able to continue to use RefWorks only on payment of a subscription fee to RefWorks. However, it is now possible for SHU alumni to continue to use RefWorks for free. This applies to staff and students.
Staff and students will need to set up a user-defined login before leaving Sheffield Hallam University.
More information information is available here:
