Training Recorded on Tuesday 9/14 at 1 pm
For the first time in decades, the slump in startup activity has turned around. During the Great Recession of 2008, when our challenge was helping users find jobs, libraries responded. In today’s transitional economy, what can libraries do to help their users discover their inner entrepreneur?
They can help them embrace the mindset that will be essential to their success.
Join us for “Your Library and the Pandemic Startup Boom,” a one-hour webinar focusing on how some libraries are working to cultivate the entrepreneurial spirit in their communities.
You will learn:
· The broader definition of entrepreneurship
· How library staff members are entrepreneurial
· About a resource that the State Library of Virginia has licensed for public libraries to help your library promote economic growth in your community
Presenter: Duncan Smith is the librarian-entrepreneur that founded NoveList®and served as its General Manager for 25 years. Duncan currently serves EBSCO Information Services as Chief Strategist for Public Libraries. Supporting libraries in expanding their services to entrepreneurs has been a focus of his work at EBSCO.
