It's tied to www.economicdevelopment.net which features About Economic Development.

About Economic Development opens with 20 defintions which, when taken altogether, give one pretty good explanation of the process. The definitions in the collection contain all of the operative words and phrases used to explain the fundamentals of economic development.

The .network library supplements our (who we are) attempt to adequately answer the question of what economic development is. Economic Development in the library is a resource for finding additional information, including defining what is is within the context of enterprise and economic development as well as so called site location work.

jobs creation and economic development:

One key operative phrase, human capital mobilization (see above) is often included in some fashioin with explanations of economic development. For example, the American Economic Development Council (AEDC) once explained that the role of the economic developer is to ... influence the process for the benefit of the community through expanding job opportunities ... (source). Jobs creation or job creation are commonly used terms.

Among the inferences of the expression enterprise and economic development is that those who are members of the .network core user group are involved as major players in the jobs creation process. Alert locations seeking economic development invest in preparing their human capital resource by, for example, pre-employement training as a service to enterprise developers.

The .network mission statement suggest how the kind of enterprise development that leads to economic development actually comes about in communities. As places seeking economic development, communities often include their own definitions of the process in order to give direction to their representatives. They include expanding job opportunites for citizens.

Suggestion: Copy and paste the following italicized text lines to the search engine at the top of this page to Google the Web for more information about human capital and jobs creation. Keep quotation marks intact. Also, replace the identity of place of interet to you for the word location.

Markle Foundation:

In June 2001 Markle released information about a study on governing the Internet. Research behind the study found that 45% of people surveyed identified the Internet as a library. This prompted The Network to turn to public libraries online as resource providers in cases where local development representatives were unavailable. Libraries of colleges and universities as well as in many places have proven to be excellent sources of location information and economic development data.
