tremendous number of new business resources.
New shelving and signage, hundreds of new business books, updated reference materials, three new computer workstations, and many new electronic databases have been added to the library. Best of all, several of these databases are available for home use around clock, day or night. |
New resources
are continuously being purchased, so let the library staff know if there is a specific item you think should be added to the collection. We're here to help you and your business. That's what partners do.

Libraries have certainly changed during the past few
years. Gone are the card catalog, print magazine indexes such as the Reader's
Guide, and back issues of print magazines and newspapers. They all have been replaced by electronic counterparts. The Tarpon Springs Public Library is especially rich in electronic resources. For several years, its shared SUNLINE catalog has allowed users to obtain materials from several area libraries.
|
Recent
improvements in the new Anywhere-Anytime Library Catalog now let
users request materials from almost every library in the United States,
from any Internet computer.
Speaking of the Internet, high speed Internet access is another area in which the library excels. There are currently 14 Internet access terminals in the Adult Services area of the library. Several of these computers also have business productivity software installed. Internet training and other computer classes are regularly offered. Sign up at the reference desk. |
Several electronic resources are also
available. For access to over 1700 business and trade magazines, try ABI-INFORM. For data on companies, the library subscribes to
Hoover's Online, Standard & Poor's NetAdvantage, and ReferenceUSA (formerly the American Business Directory).
