It’s all for nothing if you don’t have freedom

A post by Business Faculty Librarian Ben Taylorson

Earlier this month I presented a member’s paper at the annual Business Librarian’s Association conference, which this year was taking place at the University of Stirling.

If you’ve not been to Stirling, it’s well worth a visit. It was once the capital of Scotland, and the city is steeped in history and visually dominated by the imposing Stirling Castle. Around every other corner there’s a statue of Robert The Bruce or William Wallace (or at least, it feels that way).

eResource of the month: MarketLine
