    The Research Landscape for Doctoral Students & Tenure-Track Faculty

    Michael Christensen, Doctoral Candidate, Management Unit, HBS
    Ximena Garcia-Rada, Doctoral Candidate, Marketing Unit, HBS

    It’s all about research for doctoral students and tenure-track faculty. How do they “think” about their research? What does their research design look like? How are they managing their data, analysis, visualization, writing, and dissemination? What challenges do they face? How does the library enable their work throughout the research cycle? What are the content, services, and tools that they need? What are we missing? Hear about the various ways libraries impact this key research community and spark new ideas on how libraries can provide services to meet their needs.

    Will the Circle be Unbroken? Reflections on Continuous Change in Libraries

    Corey Seeman, University of Michigan

    If there is one primary job that an academic library director has, it is managing and navigating change as our libraries evolve. I have broken down change management into six key terms: inevitability, rapidity, flexibility, hospitality, accountability, and empathy. Through these six terms, we can explore how to best manage your operation in even less than optional conditions.  This presentation will preview the series that I am writing for Against the Grain (Charleston conference).

    Teaching via the Case Method: A Case for Librarians

    Willis Emmons, Senior Lecturer of Business Administration & Director, C. Roland Christensen Center for Teaching and Learning, HBS

    Meeting our faculty, students, and alumni where they’re “at” means thoroughly understanding a pedagogy that permeates the MBA degree program. Using the key concepts of the case method, we’ll explore how librarians can help faculty complete case research, develop courses, and prepare for class discussions. We’ll also discuss how we might prepare our own presentations or workshop approaches so that they complement a predominant classroom teaching approach. To prepare for the session, please read the case materials and attend a “buzz group” – just like most MBAs do on a daily basis!

    Developing the Next Generation of Business Librarians

    Sanda Erdelez, Division Director, School of Library and Information Science, Simmons University

    Simmons University offers a diverse range of library and archives programs that meet the individual interests of its students. But what about our growing need for business research expertise in academic libraries? How is that talent being developed?

    Best Practices or Wishful Thinking: Connecting with Students Using Library Resources for Case Competitions, Experiential Learning, Internships, and Pitch Decks

    Angela Horne, University of California, Los Angeles
    Corey Seeman, University of Michigan

    Business librarians can be in a tricky spot when it comes to licensed materials made available through their libraries. Academic libraries pay pennies on the dollar for business resources that commercial customers covet. So what happens when students are using these resources outside of the classroom in activities such as case competitions, experiential learning programs, and internships? This presentation will provide an overview of how we communicate with students on acceptable use of these resources along with ways that librarians can help ensure that the acceptable use of these library resources is followed.

    Location: Chao Center, Classroom 120

    9:40 – 9:55 a.m.

    Systematic Reviews (SR) in Business & Management: A New Role for Business Librarians

    Ryan Splenda, Carnegie Mellon University

    Systematic Reviews are comprehensive and reproducible literature reviews that provide evidence for practice and identify gaps in research. We collaborated with faculty on a proof-of-concept management SR, the first of its kind, for the Campbell Collaboration. A discussion of SR training, developing methodical search strategies, and the role of the librarians will be included. This service is an example of the evolving role of business librarians, and how we can collaborate with our clientele in an innovative way.

    Location: Chao Center, Classroom 120

    9:55 – 10:10 a.m.

    Finance Labs and Libraries: Horse Trading or Smooth Sailing (or Something in Between)?

    Sean Forbes, University of Toronto

How the Rotman School incorporated its very successful BMO Financial Group Finance Research and Trading Lab into the life of the school, and how the Milt Harris Library helped and learned along the way. An almost 20-year partnership between library and lab is explored in this presentation.

    Location: Chao Center, Classroom 120

    Kyle Courtney, Esq., Office for Scholarly Communications Program Manager/Copyright Advisor, Harvard Library
