International survey of business & economics university faculty

Description:

"This 108-page study presents detailed data and commentary on periodical use from business school and other economics and business faculty about their business libraries and business/economics collections of general university libraries. Data are based on a survey of more than 180 scholars drawn from more than 100 major research university academic departments and MBA programs in the USA, Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland. Research findings are broken out by various criteria, such as type of university, MBA program or Grad/Undergrad business or economics program, scholar's country, gender, political views, academic subject specialty, academic title and other criteria. The study presents detailed data on the use of many specific business and economics journal, as well as popular newspapers and magazines such as The Wall Street Journal, The Economist and the Financial Times, among others, as well as leading business directories. The study also looks at the level of satisfaction faculty have with their business/economics libraries or subject collections, and at the extent to which they can find needed materials"--Publisher's website.
