Thanks to the Zicklin School of Business we now have access to the full SDC suite, including Mergers and Acquisitions which is often requested. Access is still via the computer at the reference desk.

VentureXpert Now Listed on Databases Page
VentureXpert is already part of the SDC Platinum database but seemed to merit its own listing on the databases page. It is only accessible to members of the Baruch community from workstations at the reference desk.
Debt and Equity Financing
An international finance class is researching the foreign equity and debt financing of U.S. companies over the last three years. The standard source for this information is SDC Platinum.
Another source that some of the student have found helpful is Mergent Online. The company synopsis screen includes a tab for “Long-term Debt” with a comprehensive list of all the company’s bond offerings, whether active or matured. (The list can be sorted so the active issues come to the top of the list.) To get the details of the bonds, you need to click on the CUSIP number for each bond. The “Added Details” tab will tell you where the bond was listed and if it was offered globally.
SDC Platinum issues updates-request made to update reference computers
When I had a question about SDC Platinum from an accounting professor the other day I noticed that there has been an update to SDC Platinum. It is now version 4 with some updates in December. I have put in a help desk request to update the reference desk computers and my office computer. I will alert the faculty to whom I am a liaison of the update and would suggest that others do the same. The update occurred in the fall and December.
