“Glasgow School for Business and Society greatly welcomed the launch of GSE Research, not simply because it provides an invaluable resource and reference point for research and best practice in the areas of governance, sustainability and environmental management, but also because of the principles for which it stands. The School is proud to be a SOL Partner.”
Professor John Wilson, Dean of the Glasgow School for Business and Society, Glasgow Caledonian University, Scotland
“I felt that purchasing the Sustainable Organization Library should be a high priority given the strong and growing trend toward sustainability research in many disciplines at our institution. The SOL seems particularly strong in Business areas but it also has resources that would be of use to subjects such as urban studies, public policy, economics, and environmental studies, to name just a few. ”
Mark Bodnar, Subject Librarian (Business) Simon Fraser University
