Business Resources for the Librarian
Do you feel comfortable answering questions like:

I need to find what Nynex stock was worth on June 21, 1985?
Can I start a piano school in my home? 
I’ve got a job interview tomorrow and I need to research the XY Z
Company?
I’m starting a day care business and want to know how many families
with working parents there are in Bristol and Torrington?

If you answered, NO, this workshop is for you!  

During this half-day workshop, you’ll learn about a core group of
free or readily available tools that will help you answer the most
common business reference questions.  You’ll have a chance to practice
answering real-world business questions using these tools during this
hands-on workshop.  This basic introduction to business terminology and
resources is geared towards new and non-business librarians.  

If you have a particular business related question, email Jennifer
(jkeohane at simsburylibrary.info) with the subject line “Business
Workshop” and she’ll be sure to include it in the discussion.  

Your instructor will be Jennifer Keohane, Business Outreach Librarian
for the Simsbury Public Library.  Jennifer has a Master of Library
Science and School Library Media Specialist Certificate from Southern
Connecticut State University and Bachelor’s of Commerce in
Marketing/International Business from McGill University, Montreal,
Canada.  Prior to becoming a librarian, Jennifer attained over 12 years
of business experience including retail management, product development,
marketing, brand management, market research and product licensing.
