The best way to search the library databases is to try out different combinations of key words/short phrases. Phrase searching is one technique you can use to refine your search. To phrase search, place phrases inside quotation marks or parentheses. This tells the database to search the phrase as a unit instead of a string of keywords.
For example:
"business management"
(business management)
For current news, search the Nexis Uni database for newspaper articles on topics of interest.
Check out the News database for news, radio, and television broadcasts from the U.S. and around the world.
Review Regional Business News for news and other types of publications, including news transcripts.
You may also use the Publication Finder under E-Journals on the library homepage to search for specific newspaper titles such as The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.
The databases listed below are good starting points for finding articles on business-related topics.
