You can easily overcome this by using resources available on the net.

HR Today, the journal from the Institute of Professional Management of Canada, located at www.hrtpda.com/, would also be help to you in planning strategies.

Tarvard Business School Publishing (HBSP) has added a browse feature to keep track of new publications. This could be a godsend to the HR professional. The HBSP index is restricted to new publications and best-sellers, making it perfect to track down that half-remembered title. Although most articles cannot be downloaded, you can at least keep abreast of the developments in this field.
People are sometimes worried about copyright violations while downloading articles from web pages. This issue is still a grey area and you have to follow a general rule-of-thumb. Most of the sites you visit display its conditions regarding usage. In most case, the portions that are downloadable are not to be used for commercial purposes. So if you do not intend to make money out of the articles downloaded from the Net, you do not infringe on the authors' copyright. At the same time, it should be kept in mind that not everything on the Web is for free -- sometimes you do have to pay.
