When you hear people talking about stocks, bonds, and investment trends, do you feel a little out of the loop? Or perhaps, you are looking for a way to keep track of your investments, but do not know where to start.

We are pleased to offer Partners business databases used by investors around the world.

There is good news for those wishing to become more business savvy, while at the same time supporting the UCI Libraries. We are pleased to offer Partners of the UCI Libraries at the Patron level access to the following business databases used by investors around the world to help navigate the plethora of investment information that would otherwise be available only through costly subscriptions.

Business Source Alumni Edition

Provides more than 1,530 full text business magazines and journals, of which 770 are peer-reviewed. This database includes publications in nearly every area of business including marketing, management, management information systems, accounting, finance, econometrics, economics and more.

Value Line Investment Survey

For those who are researching a large sampling of stocks, the stock market, and the economy, this is an indispensible resource. If you are interested in investment profiles of companies, stock market forecasts, and stock market statistics you can access them all in this multi-faced database.

Snapshots North America

Snapshots covers both U.S. and Canadian markets and narrows down industry profiles to market size, market shares, forecasts, as well as a list of key competitors.

Go to the Partners and Friends Website for information about upcoming workshops on how to use these exciting databases and easily access the information you need! Our next workshop will be held January 9, 2009 from 10 a.m. to noon in the Langson Library Technology Enhanced Classroom.

There isn’t a better time to become a Partner of the UCI Libraries and join a special group of people who truly appreciate books, libraries, and learning.
