Hot Business Books for 2011

Looking for the latest in business trends, entrepreneurship, and making social media work for you?  Your search is over!

Check out the titles below and let me know which ones you'd like to see added to our library.

Likeable Social Media
The secret to successful word-of-mouth marketing on the social web is easy:  be likeable.  In the world of Facebook, Twitter, and beyond, a friend's recommendation is more powerful than any advertisement.  Likeable Social Media helps you harness the power of word-of-mouth marketing to engage your customers and transform your business.

The Method Method
Founded ten years ago by childhood friends Eric Ryan and Adam Lowry, Method has been making headlines and profits with a revolutionary blend of culture and commerce, style and substance.  The Method Method is an irreverent, candid, inspiring case study.  Readers will learn how today's consumers behave, how today's companies compete, and how both groups are acting together to drive profound global change.

Nothing to Lose, Everything to Gain
Like many entrepreneurs, Ryan Blair had no formal business education.  But he had great survival instincts, tenacity, and--above all--a "nothing to lose" mindset.  He started his first company, 24/7 Tech, at the age of 21, and since then has started and sold several companies for hundreds of millions of dollars.  Now Blair shares lessons and advise from his own life-changing experiences, and provides readers with a road map for entrepreneurial success.

What Makes Business Rock
As Chairman and Chief Executive of MTV Networks (MTVNI), Bill Roedy built the largest and arguably most culturally influential television network in the world.  Here Roedy tells the inside story of how he built the world's largest entertainment network by employing unique strategies that enabled MTV to thrive internationally in an extraordinarily diverse range of cultures.

May/June issue of CMA Today - now on our shelves!

MA students - stop by the library to check out the most current issue of CMA Today, the magazine dedicated to assisting Medical Assistants in enhancing their knowledge and skills.

The article titled "Stand Out From the Crowd:  Catch Employers' Eyes and Land a Great Job" is full of tips and techniques on applications, interviews, and how to job hunt on the Internet (even on Facebook).

Consider these 4 tips:

1.  Get specific - list skills from your coursework, your externship, or other training
2.  Emphasize experience - play up any customer service or health care experience
3.  Do the research - tailor your resume to potential employers' mission statements (check their websites first!)
4.  Consider volunteering - especially at nursing homes or physicians' practices.  You'll build your resume, learn valuable skills, AND make contacts for networking.

Asthma rates rising in US

According to the Wall Street Journal, asthma rates are rising for both children and adults - 24.6 million Americans had asthma in 2009, and the number is likely still larger today.

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that asthma costs grew to about $56 billion in 2007.  These costs include medication as well as lost productivity from missing work and missing school.

To learn more, check out the article - it will be available at the Wall Street Journal website for approximately 7 days.

And if you want to access it later, remember that you can search for and retrieve articles from the LIRN database (login 34905).

Just click on the link for LIRN (in the Everest Online Resources column, on the right), enter the login number, then select Infotrac from the list of databases.

Once you're in Infotrac, select Academic OneFile from the list.  Once it's open, select the "Browse Publications" link.  From there you can type "Wall Street Journal" or the name of any other periodical into the "Find Title" search box, and from there you'll be able to select your publication and search for and retrieve articles.
