Sept 2009
Welcome back. A lot of changes this year. New building for you and a new BIC and library website.
(For MBAs) MBA orientation to the library service and sources are on Sept 8 (12-1 and 5-6 pm), Sept 9 (7-8 pm), and Nov 4 (12-1 and 7-8pm), in the Dubin Room (156) of the Lauinger Library. Topics covered: introduction to business databases used in financial, management, and marketing research, library services, group study rooms, free direct borrowing, coffee shop, and videos.
(For faculty) I can visit the Hariri Building at the drop of a hat. If there are classes with a research component, I would be happy to come into your classroom or host your class in the library. I also can create a web page just for your class to be put in Blackboard. Here is a breakdown of the types of classes you can request:
20 Min: Intro to the business librarian and library’s website as it relates to an assignment
30 Min: Same as above plus highlighting one or two databases
40 Min: Same as above plus how to search effectively in one or two databases
50 Min: Same as above plus how to use critical thinking about the assignment
60 Min: Same as above plus hands-on exercises (most effective for learning)
If there is no class time for a research session, you can arrange a workshop in the library on any topic or database. Here are some suggestions: http://old.library.georgetown.edu/bic/ea.htm
The Business Intelligence Center (BIC) is resettling and may give you 404 Errors. This is temporary. When this happens, take the link URL and replace “www” with “old”. The content should be there.
Other related changes: there is a new blog called BICPicks https://blogs.commons.georgetown.edu/bic. Plans are to use this for announcements from vendors, government/business relations, relevant events at Georgetown, and tricks and tips on doing better business research. Please subscribe and feel free to make suggestions or comments.
Office Hours for your Information Consultant in Hariri Building: Every Monday and Tuesday 3-4 pm in the IT Breakout Rooms. Learn Bloomberg or any other databases. Discuss research strategies or set up alerts on companies or industries you are interested in.
The first Refworks training session is September 15. http://www.library.georgetown.edu/refworks
