Library Search is a good place to start searching for information (especially books and journal articles) because it covers multiple databases.
However, you may sometimes need to search individual databases to find specific types of information, or to use unique search options designed to help you find business information more easily.
The boxes below lists databases and other specific resources which cover a wide range of business topics. The tabs above list additional databases which are particularly relevant to specific fields of business.
If you require further assistance, please see the options on the Library's Need help? page
