Business & Entrepreneurship Databases
If you are search for articles from trade publications, business magazines, or newspapers on entrepreneurship or business related topics, you can use the library search.
On the other hand, a lot of the business information that you can find using the library's databases, such as company records, industry reports, SWOT analyses, and media spend information, will not appear when you are using the library search. In order to find this information, you will need to search the appropriate database.
Below is a list of the library's databases that have useful information for business research and entrepreneurship as well as descriptions on the type of information that you will find in each database.
