Unlock Business Insights Without the Price Tag

Starting a business? Researching your industry? Writing a business plan? Expensive databases can be a barrier, but you can access high-value business, economics, and entrepreneurship research tools for free through the ODU library.

This session will show you how to leverage ODU’s databases—resources that typically require costly subscriptions—by working with a librarian in a subject matter consultation. Learn how to find essential data for market research, competitive analysis, industry trends, and more.

Whether you are a startup founder, small business owner, or just exploring an idea, this class will provide the tools to help you make informed business decisions.

This course will be led by ODU Business Librarian, Miriam Bridges
