BUSS 111 Introduction to Canadian Business
This introductory course offers an overview of the Canadian business organization and environment, presenting “up-to-date” issues that shape today’s business world. Topics representing accounting, economics, finance, marketing, production, human resources, managerial concepts, and organizational structures provide a foundation for further business studies.


PAGE 103

BUSS 362 Industrial Relations
This foundational course places emphasis on the employment relationship in a unionized workplace. Lectures, readings, simulations, and assignments will serve to acquaint the student with the structure and functioning of the Canadian industrial relations system, basic employment law concepts, the union certification process, negotiation and administration of collective agreements, and strikes and dispute resolution. A bargaining simulation is an integral component of the course.

BEATON INSTITUTE
The Beaton Institute of Cape Breton University is a regional archive and research centre mandated to collect, preserve and make accessible the social, economic, political, and cultural history of Cape Breton Island. An integral part of the historical and cultural research community, the Beaton Institute is available for use by researchers, students, media and the general public.


PAGE 193

Library
The Cape Breton University Library provides access to information supporting the University’s programs, teaching, and research. We strive to provide an environment encouraging scholarship, creativity, and skill-based learning.

The primary Library collection consists of over 280,000 print and electronic books, government documents, videos and DVDs and 20,000+ print and electronic periodicals including national and local newspapers. The Cape Breton University Library is home to several special collections including:

The Bras d’Or Institute Collection of Cape Breton Studies;
Dr. Thomas Joseph Khattar Collection;
Scottish Collection and the Jacobite Collection;
National Film Board Collection;
Centre for International Studies Collection;
Pearson Peacekeeping Collection

Access to information is facilitated through Novanet, our online catalogue, the Library’s Journal Titles List, and numerous indexing and abstracting tools. Our increasing electronic collection can be accessed on campus or at home.

The Cape Breton University Library is a member of Novanet, a network of 10 Nova Scotia academic libraries. Benefits of membership are numerous but for our users, the ability to borrow from each library upon presentation of the CBU Student/Faculty ID is most significant.
