  The Business Intelligence Unit (BIU) at the University of Arizona Libraries is a team of subject specialist librarians who provide a wide range of research support for the University’s technology commercialization arm, Tech Launch Arizona. This presentation will describe the BIU’s ever-evolving processes around these projects and how we have raised the library’s profile on campus by providing these services. We will also describe how we assess the impact of our work, strive for continuous improvement, and discuss the practical aspects of balancing this time-sensitive workload with our other commitments.
