Hello everyone,

Here's a picture of me standing next to my new office. I like my new office.

I went to the Rolling Stones concert last Sunday at WSU. I wish I had some pictures of that! Cessna Stadium was packed and it was the largest concert in Wichita, Kansas history. Good stuff.

Cheers,

October Library Update

Greetings,

The last month has been pretty wild at Ablah Library. I am presently in my new office which is where my old office used to be. The big difference is that I have real walls, a new door. It's all a welcome change from Camp Reference.
There are some recent additions to our collection. The Euromonitor International Statistics package recently arrived. These publications are located on index table #5 next to the reference stacks on the first floor. These Euromonitor resources include:

Consumer International 2006/2007
International Marketing Data and Statistics 2006
Future Demographic
International Marketing Forecasts 2005/2006

This is some really good information. You can find consumption rates for a variety of products listed by country.

I want to say enjoy the cooler weather but we're not quite there yet!
