Abstract
Abstract This paper explores how business students at a Research One (R1) university access library resources during the COVID pandemic. The researchers examined survey data and data from Google Analytics of the Business Librarian’s LibGuide. The objective of this project was to improve research support to undergraduate students with an understanding of their preferred method of accessing library databases and resources as classes unexpectedly moved online. In the course of analyzing their findings, the librarians discovered a marked increase in business-related LibGuide usage overall.
