Start something new: How libraries support cross-campus entrepreneurship education, commercial and nonprofit start-ups, and entrepreneurial thinking

 

Session Description:
Students are increasingly creating their own jobs and supporting their communities through both commercial startups and social entrepreneurship. Campuses across the country are adopting mandates to support entrepreneurial thinking and cross-campus entrepreneurship education. Libraries are at the center of such initiatives, with librarians helping students find their paths and make a difference. In this session, you’ll hear from four librarians supporting entrepreneurship in a variety of ways on diverse campuses. Topics will include outreach, instruction, campus and community engagement, and collection issues. We will ask audience members to contribute their own ideas, successes, and challenges with campus entrepreneurship.
