Abstract The relationship between data literacy and business librarianship continues to grow in relevance as the conversation intensifies in higher education and the business world. Establishing shared vocabularies and mappings to foundational library professional documents is essential to moving the discourse forward. This article presents a mapping between seven baseline business data literacy competencies and the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education.

Abstract This paper explores how business students at a Research One (R1) university access library resources during the COVID pandemic. The researchers examined survey data and data from Google Analytics of the Business Librarian’s LibGuide. The objective of this project was to improve research support to undergraduate students with an understanding of their preferred method of accessing library databases and resources as classes unexpectedly moved online. In the course of analyzing their findings, the librarians discovered a marked increase in business-related LibGuide usage overall.

Abstract The most successful library teaching strategies for post-secondary business programs have yet to be determined. The aim of this systematic review is to investigate the effectiveness of library instruction (with a focus on pedagogy) in business undergraduate and graduate programs. The researchers searched seven databases, selected studies that met the inclusion criteria, and extracted data following PRISMA guidelines. To achieve the study’s primary objective, the researchers included any library educational intervention in a business program conducted by librarians or library staff. The quality of included studies was evaluated based on a modified instrument designed to critically appraise educational interventions. The instrument consists of nine questions that relate to content, context, outcomes, study design, and methods. Thirty-five studies met the inclusion criteria and data was extracted based on subject area, content coverage, mode of instruction (in-person vs virtual), faculty collaboration, assessment strategies, and library educational interventions used to teach business students. Common educational interventions included hands-on activities, live demonstrations, active learning, group work, and lectures. The most compelling strategies include active learning, providing engaging sessions (e.g., flipped classroom), and faculty collaboration. Since most of the studies did not state clear learning outcomes, it is difficult to ascertain what type of interventions were truly effective in improving library sessions.

Cloud services augmented and virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and blockchains are just technologies transforming business and communication in an increasingly digital world that concerns digital entrepreneurship. Soltanifar, Hughes, and Göcke provide a new perspective on Digital Entrepreneurship: Impact on Business and Society, an understanding of the critical factors that contribute to successful digital entrepreneurship, and an appreciation for the context-sensitivity of digital entrepreneurship efforts, including, but not limited to, the individual, the firm, and international business contexts. They examine the impact of technological advancements on entrepreneurship. Through the use of digital technologies or digital business concepts, entrepreneurial opportunities can be investigated and utilized.

MRI-Simmons uses at least two data collection tools. The data source currently used in Insights is the National Consumer Study (NCS), which is an invite-only, paperbased, nationally representative survey of around 25,000 U.S. adults ages 18+ in the contiguous U.S., including “over 7500 Englishand Spanish-speaking Hispanics” (MRI Simmons, “National Consumer Study,” 2021). The study asks about 8000+ brands in 500+ categories. In addition to brand, product, and service preferences and frequency of use, NCS also asks about many other things: demographic details for both individual and household, attitudes and preferences (with attitude statements ranked on a 5-point agree/disagree scale), personal media consumption, daily habits, and more. Their other data source is the Survey of the American Consumer (SAC), conducted via in-person interviews with over 24,000 people annually. Similar to the NCS survey, the interviews ask about consumption of “over 6500 products and services in nearly 600 categories” (MRI Simmons, “Survey of the American Consumer,” 2021). As of this writing, NCS and SAC are two separately purchased datasets for both Academic and Commercial licenses, but according to a Simmons representative, the NCS and SAC data will be combined starting in 2021. Both will then be available seamlessly through the Insights platform and will be visible for Academic licenses once the two-year embargo has passed, see below (A. DeLuna, personal communication, March 26, 2021).

Abstract SCORE plays an essential role in supporting predominantly new small business entrepreneurs with limited resources. This article shares findings from in-depth interviews with SCORE mentors on how they advised clients on doing market research, their strategies and recommended resources on popular topics, and the perceived challenges their clients faced. Academic librarians can take advantage of opportunities identified in the study to build a robust relationship with SCORE, as well as leveraging SCORE methods and resources in their core reference and instruction work with students.

Abstract This case-study describes the development of cross-disciplinary instruction for entrepreneurial information literacy. Growing out of a developing relationship between an academic library and Blackstone LaunchPad, this program addressed specific needs related to undergraduate international student participation in an inclusive entrepreneurship micro-credential program. A collaborative team of librarians developed a three-part workshop series to provide students with the necessary resources to navigate market research, patents and standards information, and the process of data visualization. Outcomes included successful student engagement, increased student awareness of significant library resources for entrepreneurship, and a stronger partnership between the library and Blackstone LaunchPad.

Startups, venture capital, entrepreneurship, deals, pitches, innovation, disruption, fintech, medtech, tech anything... there is huge demand for information about these areas. For business school students, Techcrunch’s website is a perfect fit for finance and entrepreneurship classes and career preparation. And for marketing and strategy projects, the content is invaluable as a proxy for future market demand and consumer preferences. While at one time business schools were at the center of startup and entrepreneurship investment-focused student projects and research, this is no longer the case. Classes, clubs, competitions, and more are popping up all over our universities, and b-schools may or may not be involved. However, while business schools may not necessarily own this area anymore, business librarians are regularly sought out by non-business students and librarians for help conducting this type of research. We have to think like business librarians, but be able to explain which resources to use, how to navigate them, and why the information is important to users who may lack the broader context and struggle with undertaking the necessary competitive business intelligence. One of the sources we should all have in our back-pockets is Techcrunch’s startup and technology news website; read on to learn more about this great free internet resource and why we should all be promoting its use.

Abstract This paper explores the financial literacy of undergraduate students at Thai universities. Four hundred questionnaires were distributed to undergraduate students based on systematic random sampling and the results were analyzed by descriptive statistics. The participants knew about simple interest, basic savings, investment risk, and inflation but were confused about compound interest. Most had no savings and had faced financial problems during the last 6–12 months. They were also happier with spending than saving. Owing to such financial illiteracy, educational courses that include financial concepts and skills must be offered to improve students’ financial attitude and behavior.
