Revised and updated for the first time in 12 years, The Business Library and How to Use It is your key to timely and relevant business information. For more than 40 years students, teachers, librarians, and business people have been using this standard source to prepare business plans, topical reports, financial analyses, government surveys, investment strategies, marketing campaigns, and other research projects.Arranged in 16 easy-to-use chapters, this work is an informative guide to conducting business research from start to finish. Each chapter features an introduction to the topic, an in-depth descriptive list of relevant sources, and tasks the sources can be used to accomplish.
The book begins with an introduction to business research and the library. Then follows a section devoted to research strategies and general sources of business information. In the third section separate chapters cover these specific sources of business information: handbooks and almanacs, yearbooks and encyclopedias, directories, dictionaries, government publications, audiovisual aids, international sources, and research foundations and associations. The final section shows readers how to use what they've learned by describing how to write a research-based business report.

Formerly, a library was viewed as a place for information storage and information was viewed as simply bits of data. Furthermore, many wielded information as a tool of power, in that those who had more information had more authority. It is becoming increasingly clear that shared collective knowledge of an organization is of far greater value than that of each individual's privately held data. In view of the librarian's changing profession, it has also become clear that they are now being charged with the mission to explore and implement new and innovative methods to encourage sharing and to better manage information.
The articles selected for this compendium are well thought-out and organized and are drawn from the fields of information and library science and business management. Since most special libraries are corporate libraries, the selections are taken from these different disciplines to provide perspectives from both a business standpoint and an information management one. The selections contain many different predictions about libraries and librarians of the future. They focus on new roles and highlight the importance of the profession. With the rapid growth of technology, end-users are being inundated with choices. They need expert advice from experienced practitioners. Currently, much of the literature focuses solely on the management of libraries as opposed to environment in which libraries operate. The purpose of this reader is to correct that.
