Abstract Health data and statistics are important to advance our knowledge of Covid-19, but also to recognize the effects of a pandemic on businesses, the economy, and government policies. Hence, the following article will review free sources for U.S. health data and statistics that will be helpful to understand the U.S. health industry, the health of the U.S. population and other indicators at the intersection between health and the social sciences.

Abstract Based on an applied thematic analysis, this study identifies data literacy education practices in the business and economics librarian profession. Five themes emerged from the interviews: Roles and Responsibilities; Expertise; Pedagogy and Teaching; Professional Development; and, Institutional Support. This article is for librarians who find themselves working with data and those who want to do so. The insights shared from participants offer trajectories for administrators to support the work of data literacy education. The article’s recommended future research directions section provides areas to build community and develop inquiry for interested researchers’ ongoing work in data literacy instruction and academic librarianship.

Abstract BLINC stands for Business Librarianship in North Carolina. Fourteen public, special, and academic librarians created this group in 2003. In that year, BLINC began its tradition of hosting workshops every three months across the state. Each workshop is free and everyone is invited to attend. The workshops feature peer-mentoring and peer-training on business research resources, services, instruction, programming, outreach, and professional development, with occasional guest speakers. Welcoming new members, networking, and socializing remain core to BLINC’s culture. This case study concludes with a short interview of the current chair of BLINC regarding how COVID-19 is impacting the organization.

Abstract The present study is a bibliometric analysis of the papers published in the top five finance-related journals as listed in the Financial Times (FT50 Journals). The journals included in the study are the Journal of Finance (JF), Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis (JFQA), Journal of Financial Economics (JFE), Review of Finance (RF), and Review of Financial Studies (RFS). The study analyses the publication trend, identifying the most prolific and influential authors, most productive countries, institutes, and journals during the twenty years from 1999 to 2018. The study further analyses the keywords related to the papers published in the five journals to identify the hot topics during the study period.

Abstract Library organizations exist to provide professional development, networking, and service and presentation opportunities to librarians. Yet membership in many library organizations is declining. A survey of business librarians from all types of libraries provided data on benefits of membership. Respondents identified characteristics of successful organizations as well as reasons for their disappointments. Quality programming and training, networking opportunities, and member engagement were positives while poor communication and a lack of opportunities to get involved were the most common concerns. The article concludes with four recommendations on ways library organizations can remain relevant, useful, and valued to their members.

Abstract Digital badges are an increasingly popular way to display learning achievements, both in higher education and in professional environments. Digital badges can be used to help deliver information literacy instruction in a scalable and sustainable way and can increase the effectiveness of reaching a large audience of students. This case study discusses the work of a solo business librarian who uses digital badges to reach first year business students in a foundational level course.

Abstract The purpose of this initiative was to address the learning gap between the classroom, company research, and real-world application that often results in low student learning and engagement. Through collaboration between a faculty member, librarian and Career Center professional, students in a Marketing class were able to gain industry knowledge and understand personal branding in a way that was relevant to the real-world job and internship search. This article discusses the partnership an institution, the importance of collaboration between student and academic affairs professionals, and the educational benefits for students.

Abstract As the number of non-Anglophone students studying business through the medium of English continues to increase, there is a growing interest in the potential of machine translation for helping these students with English-language writing. Language instructors recognize the futility of trying to ban the use of such tools, but they are apprehensive about their use. Academic librarians already deliver various forms of digital literacy instruction, and this article describes the design and delivery of a machine translation literacy workshop for international business students and their language instructors. Feedback was largely positive, but it may be helpful to customize future workshops for specific language groups. The target audience could also be expanded to include non-Anglophone faculty as well as students since the former are under increasing pressure to publish in English. The overall experience points to the benefit of collaboration between librarians and other experts in order to adapt to the changing needs of the campus community and to offer meaningful services and support in this period of rapid change.

Abstract The literature on ‘Sleeping Beauties’ (SBs), papers that have been ‘asleep’ for a certain amount of time and that, suddenly, gain a significant amount of attention, is not very extensive, and has analyzed the phenomenon mainly in the Sciences. The present study seeks to find the SBs and their 'Princes’ (first studies citing the SBs that have more citations and more co-citations with the SBs) in the field of International Business (IB). In terms of methodology we resort to a model that involves citation and co-citation analyses applied to a sample of 19419 papers on IB published in journals indexed in Web of Science bibliographic database. Four main findings can be highlighted: 1) SBs are a rare phenomenon in IB as only 8 SBs were found (0.04% of the total papers analyzed); 2) They focused issues related to the process of firm internationalization, international entrepreneurship, global strategies, and performance and risk management; 3) They were published in highly renowned journals, such as Journal of International Business Studies; Journal of Management Studies or Strategic Management Journal; and 4) They slept between 5 and 18 years and were awaked by 22 princes. Differently from what has been stressed in the literature about SBs, most SBs in IB presented more than one ‘awakening time’ and were composed by ‘clusters’ of princes instead of a single prince. The study of SBs is a useful and instructive model in studying the mechanisms of scientific information flow through citations. It highlights that the excessive reliance on articles' current citations might prevent the uncovering of studies that are ahead of their time.
摘要关于“睡美人”（SBs）的文献并不广泛，主要在《科学》杂志上分析了这一现象。本研究旨在寻找国际商业（IB）领域中的SB及其“原则”（首次引用引用SB的研究，这些SB与SB有更多的引用和共同引用）。在方法论方面，我们采用了一个涉及引文和共引分析的模型，该模型应用于19419篇发表在Web of Science书目数据库索引期刊上的IB论文样本。主要有四个发现：1）SB在IB中是一种罕见的现象，因为只发现了8个SB（占分析论文总数的0.04%）；2） 它们侧重于与企业国际化进程、国际创业、全球战略以及绩效和风险管理有关的问题；3） 它们发表在知名期刊上，如《国际商业研究杂志》；《管理研究杂志》或《战略管理杂志》；他们睡在5点到18点之间 被22位王子唤醒。与关于SB的文献中强调的不同，IB中的大多数SB都呈现出不止一个“觉醒时间”，并且是由王子组成的“集群”，而不是单个王子。SBs研究是研究科学信息通过引用流动机制的一个有用和有指导意义的模型。它强调，过度依赖文章的当前引用可能会阻止超前研究的发现。
