A Good “Economic Downturn” Resources Guide
September 8, 2009
There is a fabulous Hard Times Resources Guide available from the Washington State Library.
Why is it good? The design is simple and easy to use. You can find what you need quickly. The resources listed are of high quality but not too many in number to create confusion. They even provide state-specific information right on the site, like a list of tips on filing unemployment (toward the bottom of the Employment & Job-Seeking page).
See what kinds of info you could be providing for your own customers.

Hi Sarah, thanks for the write-up and link! I was just checking out our stats and saw referrals coming from over here, otherwise I wouldn’t have known (I get too overwhelmed to keep up on my feeds, I’m afraid).
Anyway, thanks for the referral, and keep spreading the word! We’re happy to work with other libraries who want to do something similar.
Also, love the new blog digs!
Cheers, -Ahniwa
