In the past year our department has been in the process of a huge reorganization.
The PTRC is now under the umbrella of System Adult Outreach Services.
Currently, I am having at least two other staff members take the trainings to familiarize themselves with the program.
We have successfully cooperated with SCORE and the small business community to inform people of this resource.
I’ve met one-on-one with several patrons this year regarding filing for patents.
One of the patrons I met with, initially for business plan help, is now in the process of securing a patent for the invention that was part of that business plan.
In July, I appeared on an online business program Streamlined Business Strategies where I discussed all the things the library had to offer, including the PTRC. I received inquiries from across NYS asking how to access these items.
