Business Resources for Librarians - Feb. 15th (MLSC)

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<http://mylist.net/listinfo/conntech>) with the subject line "Business Workshop" and she'll be sure to include it in the discussion.



Federal Information on the Internet - Feb. 22nd (MLSC)

Federal web sites are a rich, accurate, and timely resource for many reference questions. Please attend this hands-on workshop where you'll practice using terrific federal search engines and explore free agency web sites that can supplement your reference collections.
