Book excerpt: This newly revised and updated edition (formerly titled "How To Use the Business Library"), the first in 12 years, is a key to timely and relevant business information. Written by two marketing professors and two librarians, this work is divided into four main sections: Introduction to Business Research and the Library; Research Strategies and General Sources of Business Information; Sources of Business Information; and Using What You've Learned. Each of the 16 chapters features an introduction to the topic, an in-depth descriptive list of relevant sources, and research tasks the sources can be used to perform. Expanding coverage on new and emerging technologies in business sources, this edition also provides new methods of accessing this information. Additionally, subject, author/title, organization, and association indexes have been included as well as more international sources, databases, and government publications. The final chapter/section guides the reader through the preparation of a research-based business report. A necessary purchase for academic libraries and very useful in public libraries.
