New Business Database

The Library is very pleased to announce that we have acquired one of the world’s leading business research databases.
 
Ebsco Business Source Premier provides the full text of over 2,000 publications in the areas of accounting, marketing, finance, economics, management and more.
 
Highlights include:
 
  • More than 1,000 peer-reviewed journals
  • Harvard Business Review – complete pdf. fulltext from volume1, number 1, 1922 to the present
  • All Academy of Management journals  - complete pdf. fulltext from their first date of publication to the present
  • MarketLine Company Profiles – current reports on thousands of companies from around the world
  • Regional Business News – collection of approximately 100 regional publications from the U.S., Canada and abroad
  • Also includes trade publications, newspapers, industry profiles and country reports
  • Searchable by subject, author, company name, industry, NAICS code and more

The addition of Ebsco Business Source Premier to our existing roster of business databases is all part of the Library’s ongoing effort to insure that Saint Mary’s scholars can access the latest and best academic literature. It should also prove of use to researchers in fields as diverse as psychology, geography, international development studies and political science.

You can find Ebsco Business Source Premier on the Library’s Databases A-Z page.  And because it has the familiar Ebsco interface, you should find it easy to use.  But if you do have any questions, feel free to contact the Research Help desk at 420-5544 or research@smu.ca
