Important! New URL’s for Library Research Guides

Over the summer I’ve updated the SOM/SSL Research Guides using Libguides, proprietary software the the Yale Libraries subscribe to.  The new guides are designed to be more friendly for both the creator and the reader.  Unfortunately, the URL’s are a bit awkward, a list follows:

International Experience   Companies  Industries 
More Research Guides   Accounting Finance 
Operations  Organizational Behavior  Market Share 
 Healthcare  Entrepreneurship
Venture Capital

Please contact me if you would like a resources guide prepared for your class, interest group, conference etc.

Happy searching,

New Databases: New Opportunities for Cross-curriculum Research:

SSL recently has added the following databases and/or upgrades to existing resources:

 

e-Marketer

SimplyMap (with Mediamark add in)

Standard & Poor’s Global NetAdvantage (an upgrade to the domestic version)

Thomson One Banker (an upgrade from Thomson Research)

Value Line Research Center

Value Line Historical

 

I had an opportunity recently to use these new tools to help a student researching online education, a topic that crosses many sectors and disciplines.  Examples of what we discovered in each of the new/improved resources follow:

 

 

e-Marketer retrieved the following article and chart

 

 

 

 

 

SimplyMap (with Media-mark add on): Tracked internet access at home for Hartford census tracts.
