These are two very specific questions about two very specific procedures, but they occur often enough in the system that a brief tutorial on each would be very useful. Does anyone have any experience of filling out either of these and, if so, could you please share your information on the process and any other details that would be helpful? Please give us your thoughts!

Question #4: Where can I find social services in my community?
With our fourth question, we are creating a list of social services in the Jacksonville area. Keep in mind that these can be solely local organizations (such as Clara White) as well as national organizations with a presence in Jacksonville (such as the Salvation Army). Please let us know any and all such organizations and any information about them (where they are located, how to contact them, what services they provide). Please give us your thoughts!

Question #3: Where can I find information on starting a Nonprofit?
So perhaps small businesses are not the best way to go these days. How about nonprofits? If the patron is serious about pursuing this course, you might want to guide them to the Nonprofit Resource Center located on the third floor of the Main Library. But if they're unable to access the resources there, where else would you point them in either the collection or online? Please give us your thoughts!

Question #2: Where can I find out information on how to start a small business?
Now that we have settled the whole "Free Money" issue, how about people who come in for legitimate information about starting a small business? What materials in the collection do you guide these patrons to? What websites? We all know about the Small Business Administration, but are there any other reputable sites that might help (especially local organizations)? Please give us your thoughts!

Question #1: Where can I find free money to start a business/pay my bills?
Our first question is a tricky one. For those of us who have worked at a Main desk, it's a query that is all too familiar. Most patrons who ask have been inspired by a man on TV wearing a suit covered in question marks (otherwise known as He Who Must Not Be Named).
The simple answer to this question is that there is no actual free money, but patrons aren't always swayed by such a declarative statement. They may actually think your purposely hiding the free money from them. I mean, if you can't trust a guy who shops at the Riddler's estate sale, who can you trust?
So, by presenting this question in our project, let's try and create a stock answer that is both concise yet detailed enough so that patron's don't think your hiding something from them. If you know of any websites that go into further detail, let us know about them so they can be included as well. And if you know where any actual free money is (and you don't care to take it yourself and retire early), please let us know so we can use that information, too.
P.S.: I promise the remaining 41 questions won't be this sarcastic. :)
