Databases

We subscribe to many different e-resources covering all aspects of information that you will find useful for your studies. Many of the databases can be used whichever business discipline you are studying, however others are more subject specific e.g. market research databases for [marketing], or legal databases for [law].

The databases fall into two different types; those which give you access to journal articles, and those that give you access to raw data e.g. statistics, company info etc
