try it, you may find it helpful
Today I did a Gale Database Webinar for the first time. The Small Business: Growth & Entrepreneur Studies was a review of the Small Business Resource Center, Business Legal forms, Demographic Study, and Gale Directory Library. The sign up was easy, in fact I did not register until about 30 minutes before the session was to begin. There was a power point presentation and then the host took us into the parts of the databases. The class was 45 minutes and then I spent some time exploring myself, looking up things that were of interest to me. All in all, it was a good experience and I would definitely take another. I think these offer a good review, and that can always be helpful. On the desk, I have gotten more than a few questions about starting a small business, and we have so many tools to help patrons right on our website. My son-in-law started an online organic products (not food) business, organicallyhappy.com, and I have sent him the link to the Small Business Resource Center. I think he will find it quite useful.

I haven't tried a webinar yet, but will be doing one at HDQ next week on Overdrive. I'm looking forward to it.
You might try looking through our Small Business Handbook to see what other resources are listed there that the library offers... And how they compare. I'd like to hear which you prefer -- the database or print stuff listed in the handbook.
