An example of a .network SRP is available showing arrangement of basic page elements along with an explanation of how to request free search assistance when needed.

The button shown is linked to instructions for requesting free search assistance offered to help you avoid search results dead ends, as is the case where you see it at the top of .network search results pages. Another example of the button is shown under a glossary search tool as guide to basic elements and their arrangement on a SRP. Likewise, it's available under the Google/.network search engine as a SERP guide. resource center The .network resource center is also known as the Enterprise & Economic Development Library. It's an open access library specifically dedicated to serving the .network mission. As such it's a key component of a share network dedicated to the combined processes of enterprise development and economic development.
