How can librarians help students utilize data tools in sports business programs?
Summary:
Sports Business Programs are now taught in more than 550 colleges and schools across the country. These programs attract students who are passionate about sports and knowledgeable about data as it relates to the playing field, but sometimes lack the understanding of its applications in the business world.
Join this session to hear librarians from three top business schools share their best practices on how to help students identify and explore the best sources of data for use in the classroom, case studies, and competitions. Participants will come away with useful tips on how to bolster sports business curriculums and support students with the latest research, digital resources, and data analysis in the field.
