Business Research
With just a library card, you have access to an array of business journals, statistics, demographics, news, and even a database just for entrepreneurs, with sample business plans, articles, and guides for how to start, finance, or manage a small business.
LinkedIn Learning (formerly Lynda.com) is a leading online learning platform that helps anyone learn business, software, technology, and creative skills to achieve personal and professional goals. With your library card, you have access to LinkedIn Learning’s 16,000+ professional training courses.
You can book one-on-one time with a librarian to learn more about our databases, or to get help solving any problem you’re facing on your road to business success. Instead of hiring a consultant, let our staff do what they do best, and guide you to the answer among a mountain of available information.
