Helping Business guides public library administrators through the process of assessing their community’s need for economic development assistance and carrying out a plan that works. The manual first addresses how to learn about local business needs through such sources as focus groups, the chamber of commerce, and the reference desk. Also covered are techniques to get librarians more involved in the process of helping business: staff training, print and electronic sources for information, developing the support of other agencies, techniques for media and conference marketing and networking, and assessing and publicizing results. An appendix dealing with organizing focus groups rounds out this comprehensive guide.
