Nonprofit Resource Pages at other Business Libraries
These are some links to nonprofit resource pages that are hosted at other business libraries. Many of the links to print resources would not be applicable, but some of the descriptions could be useful for seeing what we should be buying and what we should be directly linking to.
Please remember that links to online resources from other library sites will force people through their proxy and would not work for Michigan students, faculty and staff.
