The changing landscape of business information has created
opportunities for business librarians to move beyond being reactive
to business information needs to become proactive participants in
business development and entrepreneurship instruction. Libraries
are no longer only repositories of books but information rich
sources of business and economic data. The case studies presented
within this book highlight a variety of examples on
entrepreneurship education and local economic development. The
examples presented serve as a catalyst for further entrepreneurial
endeavours and highlight the growing need for effective value-added
support in finding business information. Business librarians play a
critical role in promoting the effective use of business
information and in providing significant value-added services
within university and community settings.
This book was published as a special double issue of the Journal
of Business & Finance Librarianship.
War has been depicted in cinema for more than a century, from early
silent films to more recent blockbusters such as Saving Private
Ryan and Lone Survivor. Most war films, especially combat films,
are about men engaged in battle. But while Hollywood has reinforced
the cultural stereotype of war as a man's job, women have not been
completely invisible in many of these films, whether waiting for
their men to return home or standing shoulder to shoulder with
their male counterparts on the battlefield. In Women in War Films:
From Helpless Heroine to G.I. Jane, Ralph Donald and Karen
MacDonald examine the representations of females in war throughout
the history of film. They identify various types of women portrayed
in these films, from home-front wives and daughters supporting
their loved ones from afar to nurses and doctors stationed near the
front lines of combat. The authors also look at depictions of
foreign females who comfort homesick soldiers, ordinary women who
unexpectedly encounter the enemy, female spies, and modern
enlistees taking on roles traditionally reserved for men. Through
these representations, the authors explore what war films say about
the culture that created them and the social construction of
reality that these films assert. The book covers an array of war
films distributed in the United States, including Hearts of the
World, Wings, Mata Hari, Mrs. Miniver, Casablanca, Cry "Havoc,"
Since You Went Away, The Best Years of Our Lives, From Here to
Eternity, The Americanization of Emily, M*A*S*H, Coming Home,
Courage under Fire, G.I. Jane, and Zero Dark Thirty. Featuring an
extensive filmography, Women in War Films will appeal to scholars
of gender studies, history, and film, as well as to readers
interested in the evolving portrayals of females in
military-related cinema.

Criminal Pretrial Advocacy fills a critical gap in the skills
training for law students by providing a complete course addressing
the pretrial phase of a federal criminal prosecution along with
plea negotiation and sentencing. It contains materials to follow
cases through all the important steps in a criminal prosecution
from the decision to file charges to challenges to the
investigative tactics and evidence to plea bargaining. The casebook
describes the pretrial process in a federal criminal case by
incorporating both a discussion of the rules and procedures in each
phase as well as the basic constitutional doctrines related to
criminal prosecutions that can arise. This book gives students the
substantive foundation to proceed through a Criminal Pretrial
Advocacy course by providing a foundation for understanding how
each phase of the process unfolds. The casebook, in conjunction
with case files, is designed to help students improve their
advocacy skills by giving them the opportunity to engage in both
writing exercises and court appearances.
