The Enron Corporation: Topical Bibliography - British Library

SOCIAL SCIENCES COLLECTION GUIDES TOPICAL BIBLIOGRAPHIES www.bl.uk/socialsciences

The Enron Corporation This topical bibliography contains useful links to material discussing The Enron Corporation in relation to auditing, accounting and alleged corrupt practices. The strengths of the British Library’s print and electronic resources are highlighted, but this guide also provides links to useful websites and other resources you can use without having to come into our reading rooms in London or Boston Spa (in Yorkshire). You can also use it to help identify useful resources that you can access in your University or other library. It is not intended to be comprehensive. It gives a flavour of the types of resources you can use in your research on this topic. All the print resources in this guide are available from The British Library. Some items can be sent to you by our Document Supply Service – they are marked with a DS Shelfmark. Items that say London Reference Collection can only be used in our reading rooms at St Pancras in London. London Reference items marked SPIS are on the shelves in the Social Sciences Reading Room. This bibliography has been compiled by Sally Halper, Lead Content Specialist for Management & Business Studies at The British Library. Parts of the bibliography re-use entries from earlier, related, topical bibliographies. These have been archived as part of the Web Archiving Consortium programme, and can be found at: http://www.webarchive.org.uk/pan/10409/20070221/www.bl.uk/collections/social/ssr esource.html#tbib Please note that the British Library neither endorses, nor can be held responsible for, any information provided by external websites or publications listed herein.
