Several students in a BPL 5100 class came by the reference desk tonight. As part of a team building exercise, they have numerous items to locate, including a magazine with a page 36. It didn’t seem that a print out would be acceptable, although I didn’t inquire directly. I had a supply of old magazines in my office that satisfied the need. Some students had expected to be able to take a magazine out of the library. One inquired about ripping out the needed page, which was of course strongly discouraged. There may be other requests for a page 36 so I thought I would post this information.

Company Ratios
Students in one of the BPL5100 classes are looking for ten year trends for their company financial analysis. Several databases include historical ratio data:
Mergent Online – under the Company Financials tab
Edgar Online – click the green arrow for Ratios on the company page
MSN Money – KeyFinancial Ratios – Under the Fundamentals tab
For BPL5100 Students
Students in one of the BPL5100 classes I met with last week asked for industry-specific guides. Until I can develop some, I have added a page of industry resources to the BPL5100 Guide. These are the industries that are included: automobiles, oil and gas, lodging, restaurants, freight & logistics, pharmaceuticals, retailing and telecommunications.
