To better serve rural communities in Nova Scotia we have partnered with local organizations which are referred to as Community Business Resource Network (CBRN). The resources available at each site include free Internet access for business research and a selection of frequently-used reference publications. We have also partnered with First Nations communities and Aboriginal organizations who are part of the Aboriginal Business Service Network (ABSN). Each ABSN site has free Internet access for business research and a selection of reference publications. The ABSN and CBDC Collections can also be searched using the menu on the left.
