Title: The Party’s Over: How the West Went Bust

Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan. "The Party’s Over"

the West we face a sobering wake-up call.

inflexible terms and conditions of what has become the
government’s flexible friend - the Private Finance
Initiative - a kind of ministerial credit card which racks
up huge public debts without showing on the nation’s
balance sheet. He uncovers evidence of how government claims
that PFI gives taxpayers value for money have been
manipulated. And asks why the coalition government signed so
many PFI deals when in opposition both the prime minister
and his deputy branded them as ’dodgy accounting’.

Title: Young Apprentice
Episode: Discount Buying
Description: With just two weeks to go before the final, the seven
remaining teenage candidates must work against the clock in
order to meet Lord Sugar’s next challenge. Called to one
of London’s top tourist attractions, Madame Tussauds, both
teams are given just ten hours to find ten items for ten
waxworks. Under strict instructions to find things that
’look the part but don’t cost the earth’, the
teenagers’ powers of negotiation are pushed to the limit.
In a chase across London, Nick and Karren watch on as the
candidates attempt to track down items fit for celebrities
like Justin Bieber, Elle MacPherson and Nelson Mandela, at
the lowest possible price. One particular item causes a lot
of head scratching and dead end leads for both teams, and
tensions rise as time ticks by. In the boardroom, missing or
incorrect items are subject to penalty fines, and the losing
team gets a grilling from Lord Sugar.

Title: America on a Plate: The Story of the Diner
Description: Writer and broadcaster Stephen Smith re-envisions the story
of 20th century American culture through its most iconic
institution - the diner. Whether Edward Hopper’s
Nighthawks or the encounter between Pacino and de Niro in
Heat, these gleaming, gawdy shacks are at the absolute heart
of the American vision. Stephen embarks on a road journey
that takes him to some of America’s most iconic diners. He
meets the film-makers and singers who have immortalised
them, and looks at the role diners have played not only in
America’s greatest paintings and movies, but also in the
fight against racial oppression and the chain restaurants’
global takeover. For Stephen, it’s because the diner is
the last vestige of a vital part of the American psyche -
the frontier. It’s a place where strangers are thrown
together, where normal rules are suspended and anything can
happen. And it’s this crackle of potentially violent and
sexual energy that have made it an engine room of 20th
century American culture

Episode: Deodorant
Description: Lord Sugar turns up the heat on the remaining candidates,
tasking them with developing a new brand of deodorant aimed
at the youth market, which they must launch with an
eye-catching TV advert. Artistic differences and creative
tensions quickly ensue, and it is not long before the
candidates are hot under the collar and in need of a cooling
deodorant themselves. As one project manager becomes
dictatorial and ideas for a spray can get re-designed, the
other team is forced to rethink its whole approach when a
focus group is left unimpressed. As Nick and Karren look on,
and advertising and branding industry experts give their
feedback, Lord Sugar is left in no doubt about which
team’s campaign had the sweet smell of success and which
left a bad smell. As always, one candidate finds themselves
in a sticky situation as Lord Sugar raises his finger to

self-serving financial recklessness. Ian looks at attitudes
to money and morality when the City of London first became

far from comfortable about their new-found riches, which
caused them intense soul-searching amidst furious national
debate about the moral purpose of money and its potential to
corrupt. The bankers examined in this film include Samuel
Gurney, George Peabody, Angela Burdett-Coutts and Natty
Rothschild. Ian champions these extraordinary and generous
individuals, and along the way, he meets Dr Giles Fraser,
until his recent, dramatic resignation canon chancellor of

Title: Come Fly with Me (The Story of Pan Am)
Description: Documentary telling the story of how Pan American World
Airways kickstarted the Jet Age and shrank the globe.
Real-life ’Pan Am girls’ recall a high-life of luxury
and glamour; rubbing shoulders with celebrity passengers,
international romances and having to wear the now infamous
girdle. Stars of the Jet Age such as Robert Vaughn and Mary
Quant remember the food, fashion and girls that made them
regular Pan Am passengers. Pan Am’s success was largely
due to its visionary founder Juan Trippe, who transformed a
small mail carrier into a global airline, pioneered flights
for the masses and helped create the Boeing 747 jumbo jet.
Honor Blackman narrates the story of how Pan Am conquered

Title: Young Apprentice
Episode: The Over 50s Market
Description: This episode sees a battle of the generations take place, as
Lord Sugar sets the nine remaining candidates the
deceptively simple task of selling to the over fifties
market. Both teams must select two products that they think
will most appeal to their grandparent’s generation and
sell them direct to the public at a major exhibition. With a
range of innovative products to choose from, the generation
gap soon becomes the least of their problems. First, one
team struggles to agree which products to choose, and then
both teams select the same thing. At the exhibition, under
the watchful gaze of Nick and Karren, the teenagers find
their elderly customers are no easy pushover. On the hunt
for bargains, they don’t fall for soft sales patter,
making the candidates work hard for every penny. It’s an
age old problem for both teams, and an early retirement for
one candidate as Lord Sugar says "You’re fired!"

Title: Too Big To Fail
Focusing on the US banking crisis of 2008, the film stars Oscar winner William Hurt, Oscar-nominated actors James Woods and Paul Giamatti and Emmy Award winner Cynthia Nixon.
Opening with real-life footage of former presidents deregulating the American banking system during their times in office, we then take a look inside the boardrooms of Wall Street’s all-powerful financial institutions as the ‘mortgage meltdown’ took hold.
Riveting in its examination of the mutually-dependent relationship between Wall Street and Washington, the film follows Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson’s (Hurt) fight to stabilise the economy in the face of a multi-billion dollar black hole caused by the exposure of the banks to toxic assets.Replaying the actions of Wall Street’s top bankers are James Woods as Lehman Brother’s long-time CEO Richard Fuld; Bill Pullman as chairman and CEO of JP Morgan Chase, Jamie Dimon; Matthew Modine as chairman of Merrill Lynch and Michael O’Keefe as the chairman and CEO of JC Flowers & co.
As a reflection of its quality, Too Big To Fail has received 11 Emmy® nominations including Lead Actor In a Miniseries or Movie (William Hurt). Described by Entertainment Weekly as “extravagantly entertaining”, Curtis Hanson’s film is a gripping and fast-paced examination of one of the biggest crisis to hit Wall Street since crash of 1929

everyone, are Britain’s most treasured landscapes, but
they are increasingly becoming battlefields. Filmmaker
Richard Macer spent a year amid conflicts in three different
parks on a journey to discover who they are really for. In
each park the stories are different, but there is something
that unites them all - divided communities prepared to fight
in order to preserve their right to enjoy the countryside.
Richard spends a year in the small remote community of
Tyndrum, where gold fever has gripped the residents. The
Loch Lomond Park Authority will decide if the goldmine gets
permission and there are lots of organisations who think
Scotland’s first goldmine is an abhorrent idea. The
villagers are adamant it is the only way prosperity can be
brought to their struggling community and are determined to
get it approved. But who wins is down to the Park board
members who are due to vote on the mine at a hearing in the

the world found to its cost what happens when that credit
bubble bursts. The programme draws on interviews with

the Peak District, with walkers, horseriders and residents
angry at 4x4 drivers and trailbikers motoring up and down
the green lanes for pleasure. So a retired primary school
teacher launches a campaign to get the motorists banned from

Description: The National Parks, designated 60 years ago as places for
everyone, are Britain’s most treasured landscapes, but
they are increasingly becoming battlefields. Filmmaker
Richard Macer spent a year amid conflicts in three different
parks on a journey to discover who they are really for. In

Title: Great Thinkers: In Their Own Words
Episode: The Grand Experiment
Description: The question of how to run a good society has puzzled
intellectuals for centuries. Should we allow governments to
secure a better country, or place our trust in the
individual? In the 20th century, political and economic
thinkers were able to take to our screens to preach their
ideas on how they thought Britain should be run. This film
features political and economic thinkers who were united by
the belief that, for the first time in history, they’d at
last found the key to running a good society, and it reveals
these thinkers in a new and surprising light. It shows an
emotional Isaiah Berlin describing seeing the horrors of the
Russian Revolution first hand, as well as a furious Bertrand
Russell raging against the nuclear arms race and previously
unseen footage of William Beveridge, founder of the Welfare
State. From the feminism of Germaine Greer to the right-wing

Title: Dragons’ Den

Hewitt, from Kent, tempts the multimillionaires to invest in
her answer to a common birthday party headache familiar to
all parents. Entrepreneurs often take advantage of the
latest government schemes and incentives when building their
business, which is exactly what Chris Hopkins from Yorkshire
has done by capitalising on the solar power feed-in tariff.
But when a Dragon knows your industry inside out it’s not
always what you want. Add into the mix the most unusual use
you could ever think of for a plastic egg, a circus act
that’s sure to go with a bang, and a mind coaching massage
service, and you’ve got a formidable showcase of the Great

Title: All the Fun of the Fair: A History of the British Fairground

Sheffield’s National Fairground Archive to ride back to
the origins of the fairground. From the sideshows to the
freak shows and early hand-powered rides to the arrival of
steam and electricity, the story of fairs is the tale of one
of our first forms of popular entertainment. The film shows
how fairgrounds often provided the only entertainment to
rapidly-expanding industrial towns. It looks at how, from
the 50s, the fairground was the site of youth rebellion and
why we are still entranced by these travelling carnivals
that arrive overnight and then vanish just as mysteriously

consequences and legacy of the resignation. It shows that
the honourable resignation is not dead. Consultant
anaesthetist Stephen Bolsin felt he could only go public
after he had resigned and left the country. Former home
secretary Jacqui Smith was determined to do the honourable
thing and resign immediately over her expenses, but she was
thwarted by a prime minister with any eye on political
timing. The programme charts how resignation can act as a
social barometer - affairs that were once a fast route to
leaving are no longer a career fullstop. Interviewees talk
about their experiences and what they have learned,
including Alastair Campbell, Greg Dyke and journalist
Richard Peppiatt

business and quoting on some big clearances set up by Lord
Sugar. The task turns out to be physically and mentally
exhausting, reducing one project manager to tears. Tough
scrap dealers and quick-witted builders give the teams a run
for their money and profits prove hard to find among the
bags of rubble and the grisly junk in back alleys. Lord
Sugar loves this type of task and in the boardroom he picks

Title: Tourism and the Truth: Stacey Dooley Investigates Kenya
Description: Stacey Dooley visits Kenya to investigate the side of
tourism that the average holidaymaker doesn’t see. She
begins in Mombasa where she stays in one of the many luxury
all-inclusives that line Kenya’s east coast and discovers
that little of tourist money is filtering down to the
workers. Stacey leaves the all-inclusives behind to see what
life is like for workers away from the palm-fringed beaches
and discovers a world of squalid living conditions, terrible
pay and extreme lack of rights. She joins a group of workers
as they hit the streets to protest and goes head to head
with the Kenyan Minister for Tourism. Inland, she meets a
community who are struggling to find fresh water as a result
of a large scale tourist development. The final leg of her
journey sees Stacey travel to the Maasai Mara, famous for
its world-class safaris. Here, she goes undercover to find
out where our tourists’ pounds are really ending up

Title: All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace
Episode: The Use and Abuse of Vegetational Concepts
Description: A series of films exploring the idea that we have been
colonised by the machines that we have built, seeing
everything in the world today through the eyes of computers.
This is the story of how our modern scientific idea of
nature, the self-regulating ecosystem, is actually a machine
fantasy. It has little to do with the real complexity of
nature. It is based on cybernetic ideas that were projected
on to nature in the 1950s by ambitious scientists. A static
machine theory of order that sees humans, and everything
else on the planet, as components - cogs - in a system. But
in an age disillusioned with politics, the self-regulating
ecosystem has become the model for utopian ideas of human
’self-organizing networks’ - dreams of new ways of
organising societies without leaders, as in the Facebook and
Twitter revolutions, and in global visions of connectivity
like the Gaia theory

one half to to create the food, the other half naming and
branding the product. Supported by Britain’s biggest pet
food manufacturer it looks like a breeze, but soon the teams

from focus groups and inventing leftfield product names.
Professional packaging for their products restores
confidence, but the next job - to make commercials - plunges
the teams into more confusion as they try to get creative.
Animal auditions prove tricky and casting a male voice for a
sexy female cat puts an actor on the spot. As the results

Description: A series of films exploring the idea that we have been
colonised by the machines that we have built, seeing
everything in the world today through the eyes of computers.
This is the story of the dream that rose up in the 1990s
that computers could create a new type of stable world,
abolishing political power with a new kind of democracy via
the internet and delivering a new kind of global capitalism,
free of the boom and bust of the past. This story is told
through two perfect worlds - one conceived by a small group
of disciples around the novelist Ayn Rand in the 1950’s,
and the other of the global utopia envisaged by the digital
entrepeneurs of Silicon Valley in the 1990s. Both foresaw a

which would be free of anarchy - but this dream of

All About Google : Regain Control of Your Search

2011-04-07T20:39:00.002+01:00

I recently attended this excellent course at Newcastle University. We all use the Google search engine both at work and at home so it was very useful to be able to explore how to get the most of it and how to avoid the possible pitfalls!

This hands on course was run by the UK eInformation Group (UKeiG) and covered:

· New developments and services from Google

· How to narrow a search for more relevant results

· How Google personalises your results - help or hindrance and can you stop it?

· Google and social media

· Using advanced search commands

·         Google's specialist tools and databases
·         Building your own Google Custom Search Engine
      The course was lead by Karen Blakeman, who is a freelance IT consultant. The complete PowerPoint of the course can be downloaded for free at:

http://www.rba.co.uk/as/

At the end of the workshop we were asked, as a group, to produce a Top 10 list of search tips; which could be search tools, individual web sites, or search techniques. It was difficult to agree on a top 10 as each candidate on the course was from a different information services background, but it made for some lively discussion at the end of the day!

Plagiarism news "Baron-Cut-and-Paste"

2011-03-02T09:37:00.003Z

An interesting example in the press this week of how plagiarism can come back to haunt you!

"German Defence Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg has stepped down after he was found to have copied large parts of his 2006 university doctorate thesis.

Mr Guttenberg, considered until recently a possible candidate for chancellor, has already been stripped of his PhD. He told a news conference that it was "the most painful step of my life".

Tens of thousands of German academics have written to Chancellor Angela Merkel complaining about his conduct.

The plagiarism scandal led to him being nicknamed Baron Cut-and-Paste, Zu Copyberg and Zu Googleberg by the German media." read more at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-12608083

New Library Search

2011-03-01T12:32:00.003Z

The Library Gateway gives you access to all of our library resources but you have to choose where to start your search.

We’re implementing a new system that will make it easier for you and your students to discover our library resources. From a single search box this will search the Library Catalogue, our full-text journal article holdings, our images database SHIMMER and our research archive SHURA. The results are presented in one integrated list that can then be refined by a number of different facets.

We will have the new search software running alongside existing services from April 2011, and it will be launched in July 2011. See this page on the staff intranet for further details.

Potential Document Supply delays

2011-02-07T16:22:00.001Z

A high percentage of the items which Sheffield Hallam University's Document Supply Service obtains are from the British Library.
Currently, some areas of the British Library's West Yorkshire site, which houses its document supply centre, are temporarily closed. Some of their usual services may be unavailable.
SHU's Document Supply Services team are experiencing a delay of around eight weeks on some of the requests they send to the British Library. In the light of this, could we urge staff, researchers and students to send their requests in plenty of time and allow for the possibility of delay in the fulfilment of their requests.
Please place your requests as usual. DSS will endeavour to go elsewhere for material if necessary. They will of course keep all requesters informed if the item they require is going to be subject to delay.

As and when the British Library provides updates on the situation, SHU Document Supply Services will pass this information on to their service users. Please see the "Current issues" section of the Library Gateway and check your emails for progress of your requests.
