This LibGuide is designed specifically for you, the Gies College of Business student. It will help you quickly get started with your research. Google is great but not all information is free or openly available.  Here, you can find introductions to various kinds of library databases with instructions on how to search, tips on search strategies, and recommended resources for conducting research. We also distinguish what you can find on the open Net. 

If you're having trouble accessing a database or getting an error code, try opening the link in an incognito or private window. For further assistance, contact bis@library.illinois.edu.

Bookmark this page, and you will find it a good friend whenever you need help or inspiration. 

Click the bars on the left to navigate this guide for resources on this subject.

Where to find resources:

UIUC Online Research Resources: available to all UIUC affiliated faculty, staff and students. You will be prompted to log in with your NetID and password if you access them outside the UIUC campus network. You can access them via the Alphabetical List of Databases.  

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. 

STEM Entrepreneurship and Business is located in Grainger Engineering Library. If you have questions or need help, contact Becky Smith, business librarian at becky@illinois.edu or at bis@library.illinois.edu.
