For simple searching, you can try Business- Easy Search. This is a good place to start when you aren't certain where to go first.  Type your phrase in the box, enclosed by parentheses, eg  "Corporate Sustainability Reporting".  It searches 4 of the major business-related literature databases for your convenience: Proquest One Business, Business Source Complete, Scopus, and Academic Search Complete".  If you want to get more specific, using subject fields, the directions are below for ProQuest One Business, EBSCO Business Source Complete, and LexisNexis Academic Universe.

BIS also has Best Bets, a database of frequently asked questions on a topic level. You can search the entire database or click on one of the areas of finance, accounting, economics, labor, companies, industries, etc. and look at the lists of questions. NOTE: This is not the place to do a company search on a specific company. Instead, it is a tool which will lead you to sources on how to find information on companies or industries.

These resources are for use on your classroom and scholarly projects only. None of the data is to be given to a client or shared with friends at other universities. 

You may—and should!—cite your information.
