Abstract

This survey examines the business-related databases supplied remotely to the general public and funded by some combination of the US Library Services and Technology Act [LSTA] funds, state funds, or other funding streams in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. A literature review traces the development of statewide databases. The research method used is website analysis with follow-up emails and phone calls where necessary for clarification. The survey reveals that most states offer statewide databases useful to small businesses and entrepreneurs.
