Whew! Times are tough. The Palm Beach County Library System implemented its Business Reference Service back in the late 1980's/early 1990's during the last blip in the economy. At the time, we were assisting patrons with job searches, starting small businesses, finding training programs. Now there are Web 2.0 tools like CareerBuilder to find job postings, post resumes, sign up for job alerts based on pre-selected criteria. Add free tools like this to subscription databases such as our Small Business Resource Center, and the assistance that we can provide to our patrons is leaps and bounds above what we were able to offer a mere 15 years ago. Not to mention that you can search for library jobs on CareerBuilder as well!
