Inside ZSR
For business librarians working at an academic institution in the southeast, attending SOUCABL (Southern University and College Academic Business Librarians Conference) is kinda’ a no brainer. Not only is the conference free (including lunch and breakfast!) but it is also a wonderful opportunity to connect with friends and colleagues new and old and jump straight... more ›

I’m a relative newcomer to this conference and organization. I know several corporate and business/finance librarians who are very active... more ›

Summer – Boardgames, Data, and more! This January, Morgan and I went to NC State’s campus to attend the United States Association for Small Business & Entrepreneurship (USASBE) Conference.

Part of me wishes I had had the opportunity to attend this hybrid conference pre-pandemic when it was a fully in-person experience. I overheard numerous attendees longing for the “old days” but, without anything to... more ›
