Patron Services: Saturday Research Orientation: Researching Old Companies

Join the Business Reference Section of the Science, Technology & Business Division for a focused research orientation to resources for researching old companies. Whether you are trying to find out more about your great grandfather's small business, the value of that old stock certificate in your attic, or just curious about a company from the past, learn how to find materials both at the Library of Congress and in your local public library and historical society to help answer your questions. The session covers both print and electronic sources. All researchers are welcome.

 Date: Saturday, November 30, 2019, 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM EST

 Location: Library of Congress Thomas Jefferson Building, Room LJ-139B

The Complex Relationship Between Changing Work Schedules, Child Care, and Child Well-Being

On this episode of On the Evidence, we talk about a report that looks at the complicated relationships among nonstandard or changing work schedules, the availability of child care for those schedules, and child well-being. Our guests are Angela Rachidi and Russell Sykes, who coauthored the report.
