LaunchPad expands its book collection this fall - Blackstone LaunchPad

The LaunchPad is pleased to be expanding its curated collection of many entrepreneurship and innovation related books available via Syracuse University Libraries. Print copies of the books can be found in the bookshelves at the entry to the LaunchPad, first floor of Bird Library, while eBook versions of many titles are available. To explore the titles on a dynamic guide featuring book covers, book descriptions, subject lists, and links to each book’s catalog record and eBook version (when available), visit this link. We think there’s nothing like reading a good book over a cup of tea, so stop by in person and browse our collection.

The Blackstone LaunchPad Entrepreneurship Book Collection started with a large list of titles developed by Blackstone LaunchPad Executive Director Linda Dickerson Hartsock, along with books recommended by aspiring student entrepreneurs. Linda then crowdsourced book suggestions on multidisciplinary topics related to innovation and entrepreneurship from faculty, staff, and students across many academic programs and disciplines.

Librarian for Business, Management, and Entrepreneurship Stephanie JH McReynolds selected and ordered relevant titles for the collection as well.

Former Syracuse University Libraries’ Research Reputation Graduate Assistant Ashley N. Downs transformed the PDF title and author version of this list into a dynamic guide featuring book covers, book descriptions, links to each book’s catalog record and eBook version (when available), as well as for arranging the over 300 book titles into easy-to-browse subject lists.

The collection continues to grow every year, and certain titles have been adopted as suggested reading by faculty teaching entrepreneurship and related subjects.

If you have recommendations for books that could added to the collection, feel free to e-mail those suggestions for consideration, along with titles and authors, to LaunchPad@syr.edu

You can easily browse the most current version of Blackstone LaunchPad book collection titles here at https://researchguides.library.syr.edu/launchpadbooklist.

The subject lists include both the print and eBook versions (if available) of each title.

Here are some quick links to the most current collection:

Links organized by topic area:

Below is a list of current titles in the collection as of September 2021. Some are in print, some eBook and some in both versions.

Happy reading!
