Business

People visit the library – and the Internet – seeking a variety of data useful in starting or managing a business, personal investing, or preparing a marketing plan. They may be entrepreneurs looking for sources of venture capital or instructions on writing a business plan, or needing demographic and other statistics. These pages are partly based on a workshop, Business Resources on the Internet, presented by Gary Peete of UC Berkeley's Thomas Long Business Library.
