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.
Bookmark this page, and you will find it a good friend whenever you need help or inspiration. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact Business Information Services at bis@library.illinois.edu.
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 from the Alphabetical List of Databases.
Note: these resources are only for classroom and scholarly work; they are not to use at a for-profit company or for use by your friends at other universities.
Due to the high cost and license restrictions, we are unable to buy individual reports from other vendors.
