How do I hire someone to...

<p>I need to hire someone to design a database in Access for a not-for-profit. It would not be complex, but we have specific needs which are not well met in any of the many pre-packaged not-for-profit database software products. I have a fairly good working knowledge of Access, but probably not enough to do the whole thing well (although I know what info we need to impart…).</p>

<p>So, do I attempt to hire a college intern for this? How much might that cost? Would I find one in a Computer Science program or Information Technology? How do I know they have a knack for database design?</p>

<p>Or, do I attempt to find a local professional? How do I locate such a person and how much might they charge?</p>

<p>I know this is very open-ended, but I thought some parents out there might have some experience with this. Thanks for your ideas!!!</p>

<p>I majored in information systems. Senior year, we had a class where you had to take a company and design a system for something exactly like you need. Best bet would be to contact someone in the college of business (someone who teaches the capstone senior year writing intensive course) for CIS and see if they can help you. If you are at right place at right time, you might be able to get done for free. Good luck!</p>
