From tourism to trade, Florida is one of the world’s major commercial destinations. This guide from the State Library of Florida explores the role of business and commerce in Florida history and in modern times. 

Business, management and workforce professionals employed by the State of Florida who have a State Library card can access e-books, online journals and other resources for free. 

We can also deliver books and research articles directly to your office.  

Other researchers can request most of these materials through their local public library. 

Links within the bibliographies take you to information in our catalog or to more information on external sites.
