Guide to Management Research

Welcome to the Guide for Management studies and research! 

This guide, along with the Business Subject Guide, offers support for your study and research in accounting and finance courses. The library is here to help with your projects, papers, and research--from finding to citing resources in any format you need.

Use the page markers on the left to navigate the topics. Reach out to me, your accounting and finance librarian, anytime--via email, Library Chat, in person in Wahlstrom 315, or set up a consultation time!
