Hello from Jennifer!

Hi! I am Jennifer Freer, your business librarian! I can help you navigate through the library business resources to find information, articles, and books. I can also help with citation in APA, MLA and Chicago plus I can help you use Zotero. The green button above has links to book an appointment or try to catch me on chat. Email jlfwml@rit.edu to ask questions if that works better for you!

Where to start?

This guide has library resources helpful for all the management classes taught at RIT. These subjects include business ethics, corporate social responsibility, entrepreneurship, human resource management, leadership, organizational behavior, and strategy & innovation.

Depending on the nature of your class you may need practical or scholarly information or both.

Practical information represents information which reflects what is actually happening in the business world. Newspapers, magazines, trade magazines, company websites, and press releases all represent sources of practical information.

Scholarly or academic articles are usually written usually by professors and have a methodology applied to the examination of a specific problem or observation.

It is important to be able to distinguish a scholarly article from a practical article.
