Biz/ed needs more to be the business
' site review
Biz/ed Premier from Cengage Learning, formerly Thomson Learning, exploits the growing interest in e-books in academia, in particular business studies. It is a subscription-based service with the content of the e-books supplied direct from the Cengage stable. It boasts curricula-relevant textbooks as well as a combination of complementary journal articles and critical viewpoints.
Because the product is an open web application, Cengage says that the site can encourage students not conducting active library database searches to engage in using them. The benefit for budget-holding course tutors and librarians is that content is up to date and gets around the problem of restocking old learning material.
One of the strong
selling points for Biz/ed Premier is its Critical Viewpoints material. This complementary content is intended to add context to academic material and is sourced from a variety of related business journals and publications such as IWR sister title Accountancy Age. Each Critical Viewpoint is matched to relevant course material by the Biz/ed Premier editorial staff.
