Library fines now due

SSRN - Social Science Research Network

This is a great site for accessing scholarly articles in the social sciences online: http://www.ssrn.com.  Coverage includes articles on Accounting, Corporate Governance, Economics, Management and Marketing.

The SSRN eLibrary consists of two parts: an Abstract Database containing abstracts on scholarly working papers and forthcoming papers and an Electronic Paper Collection containing downloadable full text documents in Adobe Acrobat pdf format.  Most articles are available for free directly from the website.

Happy New Year!

Welcome back!  Warm wishes for a successful new year to all LMBS students from the LondonMet Business Librarian team.

Datastream - online training available

Datastream offers online training workshops that are FREE for LondonMet business students.  Go to the Thomson Reuters training website and look for training sessions for the product ‘Datastream’.

Training is offered for all levels - from beginner to advanced.  You don’t need to be on campus or have access to Datastream to participate in the training.  You just need to have access to a phone and the internet.

Bank financials available on ORBIS

The library no longer subscribes to the Bankscope database.  However, you can use the ORBIS database instead to find financial data on banks.  Orbis lists thousands of banks and financial institutions worldwide and provides balance sheets, income statements, ratios and ownerhip information. You can compare companies and download data into spreadsheets, graphs and charts.

Find Orbis and login at: http://catalogue.londonmet.ac.uk/record=b1562651~S1
