Abstract This survey examines the business-related databases supplied remotely to the general public and funded by some combination of the US Library Services and Technology Act [LSTA] funds, state funds, or other funding streams in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. A literature review traces the development of statewide databases. The research method used is website analysis with follow-up emails and phone calls where necessary for clarification. The survey reveals that most states offer statewide databases useful to small businesses and entrepreneurs.

ABSTRACT Drawing upon Wilson’s framework on information needs and user studies, this article investigated student entrepreneurs’ demographics, characteristics, and their fundamental cognitive, affective, and resource needs. Through a meta-narrative synthesis of 15 empirical studies and other related research, this article developed a non-exhaustive taxonomy of 60 information need topics, which hopefully would lead student entrepreneurs to success through (1) enhancing business knowledge and evidence-based decisions, (2) cultivating affective learning and personal growth, and (3) securing diversified support networks and social capital. Besides library support via comprehensive pathfinders and research guides, this study also brought a fresh look at business research consultations and collection policies. It further identified opportunities for libraries to promote tacit knowledge sharing among student entrepreneurs and collaborate with campus partners to create an inclusive and supportive entrepreneurial culture.

ABSTRACT Library LibGuides for students are popular. But not much has been written about the development, use, and promotion of library LibGuides designed specifically for faculty. This article reviews a sample of business faculty LibGuides, profiling the institutions that offer LibGuides intended for business educators as well as the type of content provided. Then, using knowledge gained by looking at the work of others, the article describes the development of a LibGuide designed for business faculty at a mid-size public university. Although focused on business faculty, the review of issues and methods used should help others considering development of LibGuides for faculty in other fields.

ABSTRACT This study analyzes the impact of international articles on the reputation of finance journals. The association between journal rankings and geographical contents is examined by focusing on two citation-based indicators and two ranking methods using expert opinions. The results clearly indicate that the four methodologies are correlated with a strong preference for articles focusing on the United States. They also show that international topics are often associated with lower journal rankings. Although articles with a global or European scope do not seem to affect journal reputation, contents focusing on world regions such as Asia or Africa are often correlated with lower journal visibility. These results suggest that the strong emphasis placed by scholars on top-ranked finance journals may conflict with the internationalization of business education.

A wide range of factors would affect entrepreneurial thinking and acting in academic environments. The current study examined whether the information literacy competencies of the librarians in two sets of universities would influence their entrepreneurial capabilities. Two reliable questionnaires related to the two main variables were administered among 177 librarians working in central libraries of three top medical and three top non-medical universities in Iran. Data gathered were then analyzed by the statistical software LISREL 8.7 and SPSS 20.0. Following the confirming correlation between the two variables, the reliability test showed that all indexes have acceptable values of t-statistic and factor loadings. Confirmatory Factor Analysis using Structural Equation Modeling resulted in fit indices in acceptable ranges indicating a good fit for the research model. Path analysis showed that information literacy had a significant positive impact on entrepreneurial capabilities of autonomy, locus of control, need for achievement, creativity and risk-taking respectively. Although the level of information literacy did not differ between men and women and between the two sets of universities, there existed some slight differences in entrepreneurial capabilities regarding gender and context. The understanding of the impact of information literacy on entrepreneurial capabilities has significant implications for librarians and library administrators.

Abstract The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International), which accredits over 840 business schools globally, released a new business school accreditation standards document in 2020. In this paper, we briefly give a retrospective of library references in the AACSB standards over time and an overview of the development of the new standards. We then analyze sections of the new standards where business librarians can play an important role and outline how business librarians can use them in their collaboration with business faculty by mapping library information literacy to the programmatic goals of business schools.

Abstract This paper examines the outcomes of a bibliometric analysis of open access (OA) and non-open access (non-OA) publications from the accounting departments of the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville, the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, and Auburn University. The research illustrates the extent of the faculties’ OA and non-OA publications and their relative scholarly impact and metrics from 2013 to 2018. OA articles have continued to increase in volume gradually in all three academic institutions. The findings suggest that professors of accounting are slowly embracing OA articles, and bibliometric data may strengthen strategic initiatives for librarians to assist faculties and university libraries with collective decision-making processes.

Abstract This environmental scan reviews the entrepreneurship research guides at 17 Canadian universities to examine how librarians are prioritizing resources and resource instruction online. The research guides were evaluated on criteria such as core subject competency coverage, the use of proprietary databases versus open access resources, and the inclusion of instructional content. When comparing the subject coverage of the examined guides against the core subject competency rankings for entrepreneurship librarians (Toane & Figueiredo, Journal of Business & Finance Librarianship, 23(1), 35–62, 2018), a gap was identified for certain subjects. Industry research and market research were identified as top priorities in both cases, but international business research was given a low core subject competency ranking yet it was the only subject covered by all examined guides. This research will inform entrepreneurship librarians on the subject coverage of entrepreneurship guides from other institutions in order to identify gaps in their online coverage of topics and make improvements to their own guides.
