Business Information 9 May 2013 Effective performance in meeting business information needs requires an understanding of the key concepts, jargon and institutions relating to this type of information and an awareness of the sources through which it can be retrieved. This course is directed at information professionals with no or limited experience of dealing with information in the business field. Course Leader: Christopher Murphy.

The practical information implications of "better regulation" and the ways in which EU law is transposed and implemented in the UK are examined.

In difficult economic circumstances, any part of an organisation which cannot demonstrate its value, in terms which are convincing to top management, will find problems. Information services have too often relied on an assumption that they are essential, or on 'soft' measures of user approval. This course describes and exemplifies some ways in which libraries and information services have gone about trying to go beyond this: by showing their financial value, by showing that they make a real difference to the work and the lives of their users, and by showing in detail how and why they bring benefits.
