Entrepreneurship Research Guide

This guide provides resources helpful for starting a business.

Searching for Books

Use the Library Catalog to search for print books, e-books and journal articles on a particular topic, starting with a general "Keyword" search to see what you can find. When reviewing the record for a print book, be sure to note the call number, which helps to indicate where it can be found in the library.

If you are not having much luck with the keyword search, you can use a "Subject" search to hone in on a specific topic.

This can be tricky, but here are some examples of what you can use (the links will take you directly into the catalog with the search results for these subject terms):

If you can't find print books in the Library Catalog on your topic, try looking for e-books that we have accessible by searching for them in Myrin Library's E-Resources A-Z Directory.  

If you can't find the specific titles you would like in the library, you will need to submit a request to borrow them from Interlibrary Loan.

Here are a few examples of books on entrepreneurship available in the library's collection: 

Citing Your Sources

Citing your sources properly -- yes, even the images you use and the performances you watch, as well as any interviews you might conduct -- is important and required.

Purdue University's OWL Writing Lab citation resources are the best ones out there on the web. 

Kerry can help with citations, too!
