resource:

A resource is anything useful and available to serve, support or assist, for example, in moving the process of economic development forward. Resources are raw materials as well as finished products of a manufacturing process used by purchasers. Information is a resource and, as such, is the basis for the future success of the Internet, for example.

Search for a Resource explains how users of The Network can suggest and contribute to a resource archive and freely share with others. For example, users can contribute original resource papers for free publication or they can submit links and comments that point to where they have resources available for enterprise and economic development published elsewhere online. Select the manufacturing link in the above paragraph for an example of a page in the resource archive. Likewise, select the link to information about the Internet for an example of a resource paper published outside The Network.
