Investment success: Building and managing your retirement portfolio

This program was aimed at library professionals managing their own life savings and retirement planning. As the country comes out of a recession the program committee's purpose was to offer library professionals a look at why one finds it hard to make investment decisions, to offer guidance from financial professionals and to encourage attendees and readers of this column to study this advice and the list of references to evaluate our own financial health. As a profession business librarians follow the Guidelines for Business Information Responses.¹⁰ The material presented here and the list of sources may serve as additional sources for investment and financial planning inquires of library users. The program presentation will be available via the BRASS website later in the year.
