resources is monitored (not

Does the library have resources for small business?
Yes and there are resources for small
business leaders and entrepreneurs throughout The Network which
you should search for. There is a business
section. We suggest, however, that you take a look in all
of the sections of the library. There is something
for small business in every one of them. Also, we
suggest that you take a look at the introduction
to target audience of The Network to see where small businesses
fit into the overall mission.
Does the library have resources for fast-growing companies?
The introduction to The
Network uses the expression enterprise
development to describe the process that all fast-growing
companies go through and for which it seeks to provide resources.
There is an enterprise
development section of the library; however, to best answer the
question we should point out that resources are available for fast-growing
throughout The Network for the purposes of bringing enterprise
and economic development together wherever possible
in locations throughout
the world.
Does the library have resources for site selection?
There is a section
dedicated to site selection. The expression is used throughout
The Network to identify the process of searching for a place where
the facilities
of an enterprise can
be located and operations started up with an expectation of success.
Places wanting economic
development are busy everywhere seeking to attract and accommodate
enterprises with plans to expand or relocate. They may also be seeking
other
economic
development prospects such as entrepreneurs or
local enterprise
developers in control of growing business operations. Generally,
the work of looking for a location is called site selection. It's a
process
of enterprise development. The Network offers resources for site selection
throughout
because its mission involves contributing to enterprise
and economic development. For more information read about
the startup
of the Site Location Assistance website of The Network
and its Site
Selection Directory.

of The Network. As the website name implies, its mainly about finding
contacts. In other words, Find Me Here is a resource for members
of a target user group of The Network to look for contacts with
whom they might want to consider building working relationships. The
information necessary for looking inside the Global
Registry of Contacts is published in Find Me Here. The library and the
GRC database are together as a part of The Network.
