About
the BIC
 Located at the Rockville
Library, the Business Information Center
offers materials and services for individuals
and organizations to make informed business,
investment, and economic decisions. It
has an extensive collection of business
directories, and source books, as well
as access to a number of online
databases and web
links. Staff are happy to assist with inquiries.
The business specialty plays
a cooperative role beyond the Libraries
with the County's Department
of Economic Development, Montgomery College,
and other agencies.
