SHU Libraries Database Spotlight – Business Resources

October is Financial Planning Month and be it an academic study or personal pursuit, this is one among many topics we have for share upon request with our entire information-seeking community. The Seton Hall University Libraries also offers a wider and important range of business-centered resources from accounting to working capital and several other themes in-between.

Our expert Business Librarian, Professor Chelsea Barrett provides the University community with relevant resources in this popular area of reference.

She eagerly offers this message of welcome to the University Community –“We have resources available to give you industry, demographic and company data that you may not be able to find freely online.  Have a project you are working on? Explore our databases—you may be surprised at what you can find!”

Here is a link to our Business Databases: https://library.shu.edu/az.php?s=49201

He was awarded a U.S. Navy Summer Faculty Research Fellowship at the Naval Surface Warfare Center-Carderock Division (NSWC-CD) for Summers 2020 and 2021. Professor Liebowitz, who teaches in the Stillman School of Business’ M.B.A. and online M.S. in Business Analytics programs, focused his research on developing an enterprise-wide knowledge management strategy at NSWC-CD and metrics to measure the scientific and technical health of the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC-CD).
