Dear BPL students,

I enjoyed meeting many of you on my visit to your classes this semester. Let's continue our conversation about business research online in this guide. Email me your questions and I'll post answers here.

If you'd like me to meet with your team for a consultation, let me know and we'll schedule an appointment. You can also stop by the reference desk  or use the Newman Library's Ask a Librarian service to e-mail or chat with a librarian.
