From our business librarian…

I see all sorts of entrepreneurs at the library and one of the main struggles they face is what tools to use in researching their market/business start-up idea.  CADL has access to a wide variety of resources to help entrepreneurs.  One of my favorites is our collection of business e-books.  We have over 300 business plan samples available electronically.  Why re-invent the wheel when you can view a business plan sample for a business similar to yours?  Here’s how you access them - visit www.cadl.org/business and click on “Check Out Our New e-Books!” at the top of the page.  You’ll also find e-books that discuss how to conduct market research and competitive intelligence.  If you have any research questions, please contact me a business@cadl.org.  Good Luck!
