It is getting rarer and rarer that books arrive in the WNCC library. This is due to the economic downturn we are experiencing in the nation. It seems wiser to spend our budget on digital and electronic sources of information such as databases rather than information in paper form because more and more of our patrons are using digital sources to gain information. We do still order some books to gain access to information that is only published currently in paper format. Also, such sources give us more extensive information and information that we can access not only visually but also physically for longer periods of time. Should you be one of those that needs a good, informative book, we just shelved these:
Outliers : the story of success by Malcolm Galdwell;
Mission and Money : understanding the University by Burton A. Weisbrod, Jeffrey P. Ballou & Evelyn D. Asch;
Halliburton's Army : how a well-connect Texas oil company revolutionized the way America makes war by Pratap Chatterjee;
The Great Depression Ahead : how to prosper in the crash following the greatest boom in history by Harry S. Dent, Jr.;
Street Gang : the complete history of Sesame Street by Michael Davis.
