Abstract

Abstract This environmental scan reviews the entrepreneurship research guides at 17 Canadian universities to examine how librarians are prioritizing resources and resource instruction online. The research guides were evaluated on criteria such as core subject competency coverage, the use of proprietary databases versus open access resources, and the inclusion of instructional content. When comparing the subject coverage of the examined guides against the core subject competency rankings for entrepreneurship librarians (Toane & Figueiredo, Journal of Business & Finance Librarianship, 23(1), 35–62, 2018), a gap was identified for certain subjects. Industry research and market research were identified as top priorities in both cases, but international business research was given a low core subject competency ranking yet it was the only subject covered by all examined guides. This research will inform entrepreneurship librarians on the subject coverage of entrepreneurship guides from other institutions in order to identify gaps in their online coverage of topics and make improvements to their own guides.

加拿大大学图书馆创业研究指南设计

摘要本次环境扫描回顾了17所加拿大大学的创业研究指南，以考察图书馆员如何优先考虑在线资源和资源指导。研究指南根据核心学科能力覆盖率、专有数据库与开放获取资源的使用以及教学内容的包含等标准进行了评估。当将受试指南的学科覆盖率与创业图书馆员的核心学科能力排名进行比较时（Toane&Figueiredo，《商业与金融图书馆学杂志》，23（1），35-621018），发现某些学科存在差距。在这两种情况下，行业研究和市场研究都被确定为首要任务，但国际商业研究的核心学科能力排名较低，但它是所有审查指南涵盖的唯一学科。这项研究将向创业馆员介绍其他机构创业指南的主题覆盖范围，以确定他们在线主题覆盖范围的差距，并改进他们自己的指南。

This refereed journal covers the business information needs of special libraries, academic libraries, and public libraries, as well as information services and centers outside of the traditional library setting. You"ll find that the journal is international in scope, reflecting the multinational and international scope of the business community today. The immediate focus of the journal is practice-oriented articles, but it also provides an outlet for new empirical studies on business librarianship and business information.
