Steve Jobs
I expect there will be many books and articles written on Steve Jobs and we will carry most of them as they become available. Two magazines came in today that are focused on his amazing life's story. One is the Economist (October 8-14th issue) and the second is a magazine from Bloomburg Businessweek that is totally dedicated to him. As you have time, come to the library and browse our magazine section to read these articles. I will make you aware of the new books as they come in as well.

Browsing the Stacks
I noticed a young man in our library yesterday really browsing our stacks and taking notes. I did not want to interrupt him but after he stayed for some time, I had to walk over and ask him if he needed any help. His response was that he had searched the USA Catalog and was amazed at all the holdings we had at the MCOB Library on social media, search engine optimization, B2B strategies with social media and ROI when businesses implement social media. He wanted to write down the information of books for his own library but as well to check out and read.
This kind of exchange between a librarian and a patron makes the day so worthwhile. Come visit us, browse the stacks and have your own moment of finding just what you need!
