iCONN: From BCRC to Business Insights: Essentials - Oct. 12th (Middletown LSC)
The critically lauded Business & Company Resource Center has been Gale's cornerstone business resource for more than a decade. But a lot has changed since its initial release in 2000. Today's business researchers demand instant access to reliable, comprehensive data and the tools to analyze and interpret the information. That's why we're transforming Business & Company Resource Center into Business Insights: Essentials. Join us for this workshop to learn about the exciting new changes!
