However, with global entrepreneurship on the rise, business innovation is no longer confined to traditional business programs. Generally, this is where business librarians can make valuable connections with the campus community. Having supported aspiring entrepreneurs for years, these librarians are now serving the larger campus community by teaching non-business majors to use specialized business-library resources. Please join us for a question and answer-style session with five librarians who will discuss how they support aspiring student entrepreneurs on their campuses, including what library resources meet known demand and how to market those resources beyond the business school. They will also share ways for the library to become a central hub for entrepreneurial development. Areas of discussion include: What role can the library play in supporting entrepreneurship across campus, specifically for non-business students, alumni, and community members? As the social entrepreneurship movement grows, how are libraries supporting those needs? What resources do students need to support their start-up ambitions? What role can librarians play in entrepreneurship competitions on their campuses?en-USentrepreneurshipacademic librariesPresentation
