Now that you are (almost) in holiday mode, you may be looking for things to do. Check out the library’s online streaming collection (free for York students and perfectly legal–unlike your torrents Anxelo). If you are a BUSO fan, there are documentaries on business and society. But I recommend you to explore art house films of Janus Films (Criterion Collection). For starters (to art house cinema), their American Independent Films collection is awesome. Watch Jim Jarmush’s Stranger than Paradise for example. Link.
Here is the link to the online streaming page. Alternatively, search for movie titles in the library’s webpage. The cartoon below is just for fun and shows how I feel in this time of the year.
I showed you how to use York University Library’s website to find electronic resources on Friday. For those who missed it, I prepared a short screencast.
This short video shows how to do a quick keyword search. Our library’s website site has lots of other helpful search options. Explore it. For more information, you can consult our great librarians or yours truly.
Max Weber’s “The Types of Authority and Imperative Co-ordination” is a classic. I think reading it should be mandatory to get a TTC monthly pass. Just kidding.
Bureaucracy is a key Weberian concept. Brazil, a superb film, is like a visual representation of this concept. Below is a short clip from this film.
York University Scott library has this film (DVD). According to their online records, they have four copies. And it is free! (believe me, it is easier than download a film via a torrent). Just go to he multimedia section and tell them the name of the film. You will love the Multimedia section.
