Librarians who support business and adjacent disciplines are invited to learn about the newly minted Business Research Competencies (BRC). The BRC were recently approved by BRASS and RUSA Executive Boards, and they were endorsed by the Business and Finance Division of the Special Libraries Association (SLA B&F).
The BRC authors will demystify this document- how it's organized,what it covers, and how it fits into the landscape of competency documents. Attendees will also have an opportunity to discuss and share ideas for how they might put the Competencies to use in their professional work.
