Massasoit’s Business and Technology Division includes the Business, Computer Science/Technology, Culinary Arts and Hospitality departments. The selector should be mindful of business environment trends as well as the curriculum development in these areas. Additionally, the Faculty Librarian provides input on the need and use of electronic resources supporting business and technology.
Books and eBooks
Essential criteria to keep in mind with selecting materials in these areas include:
-
Business books and eBooks follow the curricular guidance of the business program. Areas of focus include biographies of CEOs and entrepreneurs, business planning guides and financial health & literacy books.
-
Culinary arts materials include cookbooks, the history of food and cuisine in a variety of cultures, chef biographies, guides on food safety and purchasing, and restaurant or catering management.
-
Computer science materials include workbooks on software applications, the history of technology and sustainable technologies for the future.

The Libraries invest in the Division specifically by subscribing to:
-
