Abstract

Business librarianship is affected by a combination of forces. Among them are the nature of business as a discipline, the characteristics of business publications, and the needs and expectations of business patrons. Business reference queries are almost always complex. To handle them well, the librarian must spend considerable time with each patron. Bibliographic expertise and subject knowledge are also required. Ways to improve the quality of business reference service include a willingness to help patrons devise appropriate search strategies, assisting them in understanding and evaluating search results, investing in self-education, developing service-oriented reference policies, implementing flexible reference desk schedules, and establishing formal staff training programs

Abstract

This study seeks to explore and report international business students' perceptions and expectations of electronic library services at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. A total of 143 international business students an campus volunteered to fill out a survey. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics as weIl as inferential statistics such as t-tests and correlation. A significant portion of international business students has no prior experience with electronic library services in their home countries. Moreover, about a half of international business students go to libraries other than the Business and Economics Library, partly because they provide better environment for study. Although electronic resources are available without the constraint of location, providing reference services for those who do not use the Business and Economics Library becomes a challenge. Virtual reference is an excellent tool, but most international business students do not see it as an important library service. Based an the results, implications for information literacy and virtual reference service are discussed.

Abstract

As the corporate world becomes increasingly entwined with technological change and information systems, it is vital to examine the role of the information intermediary within such a context. The role of the trained information professional intermediary, whether a reference librarian, special librarian, on-line searcher or researcher, come under continual scrutiny as the corporate world undergoes radical transformation. This paper reports on a study which examines the role of the information professional within the library of a major academic business library. It has been observed that Wall Street functions almost entirely on information (Baldwin & Rice, 1997). Technology and the increasing need for a global perspective have challenged traditional corporate assumptions as the task of the contemporary business employee increasingly demands obtaining and working with information. In business environments, where the overriding goal is the economic progress of the company, information seeking must take place in rapidly changing, complex situations. The new business professional is not just someone familiar with the latest in management techniques. It is someone able to obtain, absorb and synthesize relevant information.
