Wall Street Journal (WSJ) Bookshelf

Because I find so many things that are interesting I have difficulty in picking up a book and reading it from cover to cover. I easily and quickly get engrossed in a book and there lies a problem. I am surrounded by books at work and at home. One way to solve this problem is to read book reviews. You can learn a lot and get the essence of the book or the executive summary. One place that I like to read book reviews is from the Wall Street Journal. The reviews appear almost daily in the paper and the books that are featured are very interesting...usually non-fiction (my favorite). To easily see back issues of WSJ book reviews one can quickly enter the ABI/INFORM database that we subscribe to and search for "Bookshelf" in the Wall Street Journal. Here's an effective search if you want to specifically look for books with "management" in the title. Use these search terms:

Wall Street Journal = Publication Title
Bookshelf = Citation and Abstract
management = Citation and Abstract

Happy reading,
Paul
