FDU Knowledge Initiative Database Workshops: 10/14 7:30AM ff.

To take full advantage of the new $6 million Knowledge Initiative project of the State of New Jersey, workshops for entrepreneurs, small business owners, researchers, students, physicians and health providers in private practice are available at no cost at Fairleigh Dickinson University.

Many small businesses cannot afford to purchase high-end business, science, technology and medical databases. Now, through New Jersey's Knowledge Initiative, there is Web access to a host of high-end databases. The research databases are available, free of cost, at every New Jersey college and university as well as at selected public libraries. The 45-minute workshops are designed to give an overview of the capabilities of these databases. On Friday, October 14th, there will be three back-to-back sessions offered at 7:30, 8:30 and 9:30 AM. If the succeeding workshop is not fully booked, attendees are welcome to stay for a repeat session.

Access is a critical part of the equation, but using this rich, new resource efficiently may require some guidance. Fairleigh Dickinson University Library is partnering with FDU's Petrocelli College of Continuing Studies to sponsor free workshops to individuals interested in learning more about these powerful resources. The instructor is Maria Kocylowsky, Head Business Librarian, Metropolitan Campus.

Workshops will be held in the computer laboratory at FDU's Edward Williams Hall, located at 150 Kotte Place in Hackensack. The building is reached from Hackensack Avenue South and there is ample free parking at the door.
