Glass Ceiling

If you are searching Business Source Premier, or other Ebsco Databases for material on the Glass Ceiling, and possible solutions to it's existence it is worth trying to get to know the subject terms which the database prefers. For example

to find material on Flexible Working in the UK

flextime SU Subject Terms

great britain GE Geographic Terms

This gives several relevant pieces which seem quite current. I particularly liked

Brocket, J (2008) Flexibility measures to go ahead despite economic gloom

People Management 14(5) p.7

Is there a glass ceiling for women ?

For those of you doing this topic don't forget that books in the LRC should provide useful historical background material...

As this topic has quite a sociological slant you might also consider using the Sage Premier database. Credo Reference is very good for definitions of this term ( I like the one from the Gale World of Sociology ).

During the sessions we mainly looked at full-text databases, but I think that some UK material will be found if you look at British Humanities Index and

ASSIA ( Applied Social Sciences Index)
