Library Collection Profile Focus areas for our media

When purchasing new items, we follow the mandate of the the HSLU‘s Schools of Business and Social Work, which is to provide its members with media for educational and research purposes.

Collection focus for business

The library offers a wide selection of media – from research literature and textbooks to practical guides and journals. Depending on demand and availability, we endeavour to license media in electronic form. However, not all publishers offer this option. We will be happy to check availability for you on an individual basis.

The focus of our collection is based on the topics covered in the everyday study and research activities of the Lucerne School of Business.
