Researching your essay

Would you like to find additional and up to date material for your essays and assignments that will enable you to submit better work and achieve higher marks? This class provides an overview of the content and search features of key databases relevant to all areas of Economics & Business, which are used to find journal articles & extra reading material. Databases covered are Business Source Premier and ABI/Inform (ProQuest 5000).

Note: the material covered in these sessions is very similar to that covered in the general Electronic Resources class (see above), so please be aware that taking both sessions will involve a lot of repetition. If you do want to revise this material with a member of the Economics & Business liaison team, then please sign up and attend.
