TIP is a free community
information and referral service that helps people find answers to the
problems of everyday living. Librarians link individuals to agencies
and local nonprofit organizations that offer services such as emergency
food, health care, support groups, and parenting education.
TIP
Database
Among the resources which the TIP librarians rely on is the TIP
Database, a library-maintained resource file of detailed information
on human and social services provided to residents of southeast Michigan
by over 2,000 agencies and organizations. Many local human service
agencies also use the TIP Database via subscription agreements which
help defray data maintenance expenses.
