The IESE Library can recommend books within the scope of its curated collections and through the effective use of the Discovery search tool.
Rather than offering ad hoc or personal reading suggestions, the Library maintains thematic and typological collections that bring together selected titles aligned with IESE’s academic and professional focus. These collections support learning, research, and professional development.
The Library’s book recommendations are structured around:
• Thematic collections on selected topics
• Reading lists by type of book (e.g. inspiring, awarded, best sellers)
• New acquisitions, highlighting recently added titles
• Core collections in key subject areas
Available curated collections include:
• Dignity, Diversity & Belonging
• Sustainability
• Career Books
• Chair of Family-Owned Business
• Longevity
• Sharing Economy
• Social Media
• Learning & Development (L&D Reading Guide)
• Leadership & Management
• Awarded Books
• Best Seller Books
• IESE Books (authored by IESE professors and researchers)
• Inspiring Books
• New Books (recent acquisitions)
• Core Collection: Business Ethics
Searching by keywords in Discovery
In addition to browsing curated collections, users can search directly in Discovery using keywords related to their topic of interest: https://iese.libguides.com/Discovery
Keyword searching allows you to:
• Identify books across all Library collections
• Combine topics, concepts, or authors
• Apply filters (availability, format, date, subject) to refine results
Tip:
Combining keyword searches with curated collections is the most effective way to identify relevant and recommended books.
