The Government Resources Section of the North Carolina Library Association welcomes you to a series of webinars designed to help us increase our familiarity with government information. All are welcome because government information wants to be free.   In this webinar, three Librarians working in different settings (Academic, Public, and Special) will share their efforts to address research strategies and resources that have provided life changing assistance to companies and individuals during the Covid-19 crisis. Join as they discuss NC Live and government resources that have Covid-19 information with an emphasis on business and economic impact, working with a municipal government to connect small business owners and nonprofits to alternatives to SBA funding, conducting industry and market research, and consultation virtual methods. This webinar will answer questions around what can the business community, and our patrons in general, utilize in their efforts to research the economic impact of the Covid-19 crisis? And how can government entities, in tandem with educational institutions, provide free and low-cost counseling and services to the small and mid-sized business community in times of crisis? We will meet together online on Thursday, June 18th from 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. (Eastern).
