9. Please briefly describe which other library staff typically provide support/services to campus
entrepreneurship activities. N=43
All Gelardin New Media Center staff, student workers, and our Business Librarian support
entrepreneurship activities.
All of the business librarians support entrepreneurship projects through consultations. One librarian
takes the lead on creating guides and liaising with the business school on entrepreneurship-related
courses and projects. It is likely we will continue with this model unless the university establishes
entrepreneurship as a key strategic theme and provides resources to expand library services in
this area.
