Research Guides to the Rescue!
Although we encourage you to ask us for help with your research, we realize that there are times when this isn’t an option. So, we have created a great collection of online library research guides that you can consult if a librarian is not available.
These guides are designed to help you locate the best resources for your research. In each guide we recommend specific books, journals, library databases and web sites. Library research guides are available for a number of popular research topics and common questions, such as:
- “how do a get information about a company?”
- “where do I find financial ratios for an industry?”
- “which databases should I use to get articles for my History paper?”
The entire collection of library research guides is available at http://libguides.bentley.edu/. If you’d like to suggest a topic for a library research guide please comment on this post.

Books & Films That Will Whet Your Appetite
Foodies delight! Our current display is a mouth-watering selection of books and films about food and drink. One part history, one part culture, a generous dollop of biography, a dash of business and pinch of fiction is the perfect recipe for a collection to savor. We’ve also thrown in a few cookbooks to inspire you to whip up your own gastronomic delights.
We have books that pay tribute to the potato chip, unveil the tale of the first genetically engineered tomato, examine the six beverages that have changed history, and tell the saga of the chocolate wars. 
You can learn more about two of the first ladies of food – Julia Child and Betty Crocker – and follow the humorous adventures of New York Times food critic Ruth Reichl.
Explore the cultural, social, and historical importance of food from places near and far, and take a trip back in time to examine how food and cooking have evolved from ancient civilization to the present day. We also have all of the icons covered, whether you’re thirsting for information about Coca Cola or looking for something just a bit stronger, like the life and times of Jack Daniel.
Stop by and pick up something you can sink your teeth into.
