Using Free Resources for Entrepreneurial Growth

Event description

The Nashville Public Library will focus on its free business-related research tools for entrepreneurs. Come prepared with your business Idea or business plan and be ready to access resources, use them to support your business, and ask questions relevant for your business. NPL will walk attendees through how to:

• Access resources from anywhere
• Research your customer base and competitors
• Monitor industry and market trends
• Export data

We will cover a brief tutorial on how to sign-up for a card, how to access eBooks and databases. We also plan to cover different databases in each section.
