Center's Workshop Series To Demystify Technology For Owners Of Small Businesses

Posted: June 16, 1997

The Electronic Commerce Resource Center, based at West Chester University, aims to take the mystery out of using technology in small businesses with a series of half-day June workshops.

Topics include how to exchange routine business documents by computer, how to bid for government contracts on line, and what a prospective buyer needs to know about personal-computer system components.

All programs have a $20 fee. For details, contact Deborah Axsom at 610-436-3337.
