If your goals for 2022 include getting financially fit, improving your virtual meetings, utilizing social media more effectively, or even beefing up your sales techniques, then the eBook Business Collection from the Michigan eLibrary can be just the eResource you need. With nearly 600 titles added in the past year, there is so much new content to explore. Additionally, most eBooks through MeL have unlimited user access and provide permalinks for easy sharing via email, learning management systems, and social media.

Financial Fitness

• Using the search term invest* and selecting Publication Year 2020, over 80 results are found to help guide you through investment, government spending, securities, trading, and retirement strategies. A couple of titles that stand out are Put Your Money Where Your Life Is: How to Invest Locally Using IRAs and Solo 401(k)s and U.S. Inspectors General: Truth Tellers in Turbulent Times.

Sales Techniques

• By entering the search term sales and selecting 2019 to 2021 in the Publication Date Range tool, over 100 results give insight to successful sales strategies and winning sales teams. One title that might get you headed in the right direction is The Startup’s Guide to Sales: How Not to Crash and Burn.

Virtual Meetings, Trainings & Webinars

• Using the Advanced Search tool and entering the search terms virtual and (not) economy and then selecting 2019 to 2021 in the Publication Date Range tool, over 20 results are returned. A fun, yet informative, title among them is You’re on Mute: 101 Tips to Add Zip to Your Zoom.

The eBook Business Collection is not limited to just the subject matter mentioned. There is also plenty to explore in this eResource on Leadership, Management, Consumer Behavior, eCommerce, Sustainability, and much more.

Note: Using an asterisk (invest*) with your search term to replace multiple root word endings such as investment, investing, and investor can offer more consistent results.
