SubscribeSmall Business Resource Center Named “Best of Reference” -- Again!
Gale is pleased to announce that Small Business Resource Center has made the "Best of Reference" list for the second year in a row!
"Best of Reference" is an annual list of books, Web sites and electronic resources selected by a committee of librarians for their usefulness in branch reference collections. Selection criteria include value and appropriateness for community library collections; organization of materials; style of presentation; and authority of authors and editors.
The sources were selected by staff members from the Brooklyn Public Library, New York Public Library and Queens Library -- some of the largest library systems in the country.
Small Business Resource Center is the best resource for libraries looking to support economic development in their communities during these harsh economic times. It’s the premier tool for anyone interested in starting or improving a small business. Your community can search and browse topics including sample business plans, how-to articles and overviews from noted publisher John Wiley & Sons, business books and many highly esteemed business journals and directories.
Here’s what makes Small Business Resource Center unique:
• A full collection of sample business plans (you’ll find actual plans that have secured funding)
• Integration of trade magazines and business journals to provide current information on various industries
• Books from Wiley and Gale that give researchers helpful overviews of marketing, funding and human resources
This award-winning database can also be enhanced with the following:

• More than 20 full directories that can be exported into Excel to help with marketing campaigns via the Gale Directory Library
