Local Library class to locate Economic Data and more

This is a local event that was sent to me because I am a Library Fan on Facebook.  Wanted to pass on the information since the Economy is on everyones mind these days.

Tulsa City-County Library: Economic State of the Nation and International Trade Data
Thursday, October 8 10:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m. & 1:30-3:30 p.m.


Central Library, 2nd floor Computer Training Room
The morning session will focus on how to search Stat-USA, a repository of economic indicators such as employment, wholesale and retail prices, monetary and housing trends, gross domestic product, and more. All data is provided by the U.S. Department of Commerce. The afternoon session will offer insight into USA Trade Online to find specific U.S. export and import information on more than 18,000 commodities worldwide from the U.S. Department of Commerce. Then learn how to find importers and exporters of specific commodities by using Piers Trade Finance or look for international businesses and customers using MDDI. Preregistration is required, so phone 596-7946 to reserve a spot.
