Library Information Literacy Training and Support Benefits Entrepreneurship Team Performance

 

A recent study published in the Journal of Business & Finance Librarianship helps measure the impact of librarians’ efforts to support campus entrepreneurs.

Celebrating Black History Month

In honor of Black History Month, UCI Libraries have gathered a list of resources and materials that highlight the history, heritage, art, and scholarship of Black Americans. From books, films, and music to research and news archives, we hope these materials will spark discussions about race and representation around campus and within our community. 

Unless otherwise noted, these materials are open to the public and available at no cost throughout the year as part of UCI Libraries’ ongoing effort to share resources that highlight Black history and culture.
