Hi everyone - There has been a lot of talk about getting to Mackinac Island - but I am hoping this is one of many great reasons to go. I am happy to share the slides for the session that I am doing with Laura Leavitt from MSU titled "Business Information: Help and Resources are Closer than they Appear." Updated slides and handouts available here: http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/106567 Thursday, 1:30 - 3:00 pm*, Museum Meeting Room Business Information: Help and Resources are Closer than they Appear When libraries can answer questions from local businesses, they have a tremendous opportunity to create partnerships with businesses in your community and showcase the value of the library to your local economy. This session will focus on the free services and electronic resources that are available to all library users in Michigan. How can you best use the resources to answer the questions your local businessmen and women may have? Find out more about expertise and additional resources are available through the business libraries at Michigan State University and the University of Michigan for you to use with businesses in your own local community. *Note the extended session time. The entire program looks great and the trip will be the best way possible to say goodbye to this record breaking winter of 2013-2014. If you are not attending, but have questions about this program, please do not hesitate to write. Best wishes and Go Blue (a reference to the ice more than the Wolverines!)
