ADDITIONAL NOTES
The Library offers access to a host of international and global marketing journals and on-line resources. The Library provides a wide range of books to support your studies. It is our policy to provide these in electronic format wherever possible so that you can use these across the internet at your own convenience and they are more easily accessible to a wide range of people at the time they are required. However, institutional access differs from any access you would expect if you were to buy your own copy of the book: in effect, you “borrow” these eBooks from the Library in a similar way to borrowing paper books. These eBooks are provided across a number of different platforms, some of which may allow downloading of books to your computer (but not to a Kindle eBook reader), perhaps only for a limited period, or may only allow online reading and the printing of extracts to a maximum amount determined by the publisher. As you log on to an eBook from the Library catalogue, check out the help screen on each platform to determine what is permissible. And check if the eBook`s access permits you to download the eBook to your computer, you may need to ensure that you have installed Adobe Digital Editions first: http://www.adobe.com/solutions/ebook/digital-editions.html Students who engage with this module through attendance and participation will be exposed to the following Meta Skills: Critical Thinking, Creative and Sense Making.
