The "New York Times Guides" are designed for students, professors and business professionals - anyone interested in staying current in business today. A collection of business articles related to each discipline from The New York Times, these guides provide context for the effects of change on all aspects of business. Also included are articles from CyberTimes, the online-only technology section of The New York Times on the Web. Each article was selected for its relevance to the business world. In adopting any of the "New York Times Guides", students are not only purchasing the contents between the covers, but also unlimited access, via password, to related "New York Times" articles. Articles are linked from the South-Western College Publishing/New York Times Web site (http://nytimes.swcollege.com) on an ongoing basis as news breaks.
