ABSTRACT
Managing people's day-to-day tasks, along with the inevitable projects that come up, can leave people with little time left over, if any at all, for “keeping up” on new business reference developments. Great business librarians have great information searching skills. These skills are not innate, nor are they permanent. To stay sharp, skills need to be used regularly and updated over time. Keep up with people's favorite databases by signing up for e-mail alerts or taking advantage of online training opportunities. Vendors often make trainers available to individuals or groups for tailored instruction. Resources that cover new developments and other news related to business reference abound. In fact, people are reading one right now. The broad nature of business means that information can be found on it virtually anywhere, so keep up on Internet search strategies and general newspaper and other databases as well.
