Librarians in the LaunchPad: Building partnerships for entrepreneurial information literacy.

This case-study describes the development of cross-disciplinary instruction for entrepreneurial information literacy. Growing out of a developing relationship between an academic library and Blackstone LaunchPad, this program addressed specific needs related to undergraduate international student participation in an inclusive entrepreneurship micro-credential program. A collaborative team of librarians developed a three-part workshop series to provide students with the necessary resources to navigate market research, patents and standards information, and the process of data visualization. Outcomes included successful student engagement, increased student awareness of significant library resources for entrepreneurship, and a stronger partnership between the library and Blackstone LaunchPad.
