Current Practices and Trends in 20 Top Business School Libraries

Abstract

Faced with a time of change, academic business librarians and library administrators can benefit from learning about current practices and trends in resources and services provided by their peers at other libraries. Using Web site analysis, a mail survey, and analysis of College and University Business Library (CUBL) data collected by Cornell University, this study examined libraries associated with 20 top-rated business schools in the United States. The study identifies current practices and trends in the following areas: relative expenditures on resources, commercial databases provided, content of library Web sites, user education or library instruction, and reference services. Despite extensive variation in organizational structure and sources of funds, the libraries provide services and resources that are similar in many ways.
