PDF file of Presentation

Abstract:
Literature-based consulting requires a strong knowledge of your field and its literature, but very little capital investment. Good reading, writing, typing, creative problem solving skills and access to an on-line computer are the foundation required to build a consulting business. Clients have diverse needs, and include attorneys, business leaders and entrepreneurs, editorial staffs of scientific publications, government contractors, inventors, marketing professionals and scientists/engineers with limited experience in the consultant's field. This talk will cover potential clients, examples of literature consulting, and methods for getting access to information.
