No full textConvenient, subject-based access to current periodicals can be difficult to achieve in today’s mixed and changing journals environment. This paper describes the creation of a web-accessible database of journals in business and economics, using Microsoft Access and ColdFusion. Bel Jour, the Business and Economics Locator for Journals at Rutgers, provides value-added descriptive information about a specific subject-based journal collection, along with convenient access to content from this collection. Although the actual journal collection is dispersed among many physical and online locations, Bel Jour provides a single, virtual point of access for researchers in the discipline.Published in print as Womack, Ryan. “Bel Jour: a discipline-specific portal to periodicals.” Information Technology and Libraries, Volume 21, Number 2, June 2002, pp. 81-86.Peer reviewe

Parental joblessness, financial disadvantage and the wellbeing of parents and children
No full textThis paper used Longitudinal Study of Australian Children data to analyse links between parental employment and the wellbeing of families.The study found that jobless families and families with short part-time hours (fewer than 21 hours) were at considerable financial disadvantage compared to families with full-time or long part-time hours of employment.Of the children in the study, 5 per cent were living in a family with short part-time hours, and 11 per cent lived in a jobless family – this figure includes half of the children of single parents. Developmental outcomes for these children were lower than those for children in families working more than 21 hours. Joblessness and short part-time hours contributed to these poor outcomes for children through the effect of financial stress on parents.Authored by Jennifer Baxter, Matthew Gray, Kelly Hand, and Alan Hayes
