The Business and Economics collection covers many subject areas, including finance and investing, economic systems, commerce and trade, production, energy and power generation economics, job-searching and career materials, communications, management, advertising, and transportation business.
In the economics portion of this collection, there is a focus on investing and finance, as well as economic systems, economic theory, and subjects such as real estate, international trade, economics as it relates to natural resources and energy production, and financial management.
The business portion of the collection is strong in industry statistics and directories, business cycles, general how-to books for starting a business, business management, and incorporating a business or non-profit. The collection also includes descriptive works about specific kinds of businesses, and extensive reference materials that support research in advertising, trade, and other business subjects.
Professional business persons, small business owners and prospective owners and college students are the most vigorous users of this collection; though it is also used by general readers for many purposes, such as researching careers and investments or learning to use computer applications for business.
