Netlibary May eBook of the Month

Blue Ocean Strategy: How to Create Uncontested Market Space and Make the Competition Irrelevant

Since the dawn of the industrial age, companies have engaged in head-to-head competition in search of sustained, profitable growth. They have fought
for competitive advantage, battled over market share, and struggled for differentiation. But are these hallmarks of competitive strategy really the
best way to create profitable growth in the future?

In a book that challenges everything you thought you knew about the requirements for strategic success, W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne argue that
cutthroat competition results in nothing but a bloody red ocean of rivals fighting over a shrinking profit pool. Based on a study of 150 strategic
moves spanning more than a hundred years and 30 industries, the authors argue that lasting success comes not from battling competitors, but from
creating "blue oceans"--untapped new market spaces ripe for growth.

Designed to increase awareness of online resources and highlight the value of your eBook collection, May’s eBook of the Month is provided through the
generous support of Harvard Business School Press. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to showcase your NetLibrary collection by sharing this landmark

BioOne Content Expanded

BioOne is pleased to announce that content for Ursus is now on the site.

Journal: Ursus
Publisher: International Association for Bear Research and Management
Frequency: Semiannual
ISSN: 1537-6176

Ursus publishes articles on all aspects of bear conservation,
management, and research worldwide. Articles report on original
research, reviews, and syntheses of previously-reported information,
innovative philosophies and opinions, short biological notes, and public

nonprofit volunteer organization made up of several hundred members from
over 20 countries and is open to professional biologists, wildlife

New Collection at JSTOR

JSTOR is very pleased to introduce the Biological Sciences Collection.
The Biological Sciences Collection will include at least 100 titles when
it is completed by the end of 2007. This collection will bring together
the twenty-nine journals available in our existing Ecology & Botany
Collection with more than seventy titles new to JSTOR. The journals in
this collection offer greater depth in fields such as biodiversity,
conservation, paleontology, and plant science, in addition to
introducing new areas like cell biology and zoology.

In developing the Biological Sciences Collection, JSTOR has partnered
with two leading organizations in biological sciences publishing: the
Ecological Society of America (ESA) and BioOne. Similar to the
assistance they provided with the development of Ecology & Botany, the
ESA assembled a committee of scholars to review and recommend journals
to us, in addition to taking the lead in securing a grant from the
Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to digitize a portion of the collection.
BioOne has joined this collaboration by facilitating the inclusion of
many BioOne participating publications in the collection. In the future
we hope to develop cross-site searching and article-level links between
BioOne and JSTOR.

We invite you to view the complete details for this new collection on
JSTOR's web site. For collection descriptions, fee information, journal
lists, and participation instructions, please see:

http://www.jstor.org/about/biosci_release.html

We are very happy to facilitate the growth and diversification of the
JSTOR archive holdings with this new collection. The multidisciplinary
JSTOR Arts & Sciences and Biological Sciences collections and the
existing discipline-specific collections (e.g. Business, Ecology &
Botany) have been designed to offer participation flexibility for
libraries and institutions. With several options available, participants
are able to choose both the collections and growth paths that are most
appropriate for their needs.

We are pleased to announce that twenty-two new titles have been added to
the JSTOR archive. Participants in the Arts & Sciences II Collection,
