"Serving communities today entails serving businesses--in particular, local businesses, entrepreneurs, and those looking to become entrepreneurs. Understandably, many librarians are not prepared for this role, and as a result feel uncomfortable in it. 'Supporting Local Businesses and Entrepreneurs in the Digital Age: The Public Librarian's Toolkit' explains how librarians and libraries can better serve the business community, offering specific guidance on everything from information resources--including books, databases, and free online sites--to programming, special events, marketing, and outreach. Readers will gain insight into key topics ranging from embedded business librarianship, virtual business librarianship, and government documents to seminars, one-on-one appointments, and trade shows. Providing invaluable guidance based on the authors' real-world experience and research as well as interviews with librarians in all sizes of libraries around the country, this book offers practical, actionable advice and proven best practices for serving local business owners and entrepreneurs."

Professional collection.
