Hello,

Is it possible for the Library to purchase Strategic Strategic Marketing Management, 5ed, by Alexander Chernev and Philip Kotler (2009 edition). The newest book for strategic MM that is available in the library is dated by 2005, and the reviews for Kotler/Chernov are very good.

Dear UQ library,

I am a fourth year engineering student majoring in mechanical and aerospace. I desperately need a book/publication titled "Ramjet Technology" by the corporate author John Hopkins University.

I have been successful in obtaining a single chapter (ch. 8 - Combustor Design) in print at the Dorothy Hill Library, however this is the only portion of the entire book that is available. I have searched the online database NTIS through the library website and was able to locate the remainder of the book; but it appears that the library does not have access to the publication.

This publication is a primary resource to my major design project for MECH4552 and offers unique information in regards to Ramjet design. I hope that you could assist me in obtaining this resource.

Thank you in advance,
Anthony

After receiving my email to tell me that I had been successful in the post grad locker key draw, I went to the Biological Library where I was told the locker I had obtained was. The email did not specify where I was to obtain my key from, and so I went up to the help desk, and asked the person behind the desk. I was told that he had no idea, and to return in about half an hour when the other gentleman returned from lunch.

I returned later and asked the second security man behind the help desk. He was also unsure about where I should get the key from and told me that usually the keys are in the lockers. So I went to the lockers and there were no keys there.

I then returned to the gentleman, and he apologised and said he would have to ask one of the librarians. When he eventually found her, she was not too sure either, and as they were looking around for any information they found another librarian to ask. She also had no idea. They thought that maybe they would be in the DHES Library.

As this had already been so time consuming, I did not want to go all the way over to that library only to find that they weren't there. So I got them to call and find out where they were. After a fair amount of time to figure out who to call, and four phone calls later, they eventually told me that they were at the Social Sciences Loans Desk.

So I walked to the social sciences loans desk, only to find that they weren't available here, they were with the help desk. So after talking to six people I finally got my locker key.

I am thinking that this all could have been avoided, had they included in the email where we were to pick up the locker key, or had the biological librarians been informed as to where the items had been moved to.
