Alive Magazine has recently started a quarterly newsletter and weekly email blast called EQ/Entrepreneur Quarterly. Each Monday I get a new summary of events, articles, and tips for the St. Louis Entrepreneur. As a busy person with a variety of responsibilities at St. Louis Public Library that keep me bouncing from one project to the next, I appreciate this roundup of information delivered right to me. Check it out!

Sorkins Directory of Business & Government
Sorkins is a terrific source of region-specific information for business and can be accessed at a library reference computer or at home through our website, http://www.slpl.org/slpl/library/article240098943.asp.
One of our favorite bits is the Current STL Leads, which identifies new businesses, expansions, remodeling, and changes of ownership (with a separate set of listings for restaurants) on a bi-weekly basis.
Another nice feature is the Who Uses Whom search - you can search for particular banking facilities, law or accounting firms, advertising agencies, property casualty insurance, and life & health insurance - and see what companies use their services.
