News to use

You want to keep on top of the news in the Business world, but how do you find every article about your business?

EbscoHost offers this database: Business Source Premier which provides full text for over 2,280 journals covering all aspect of business. In addition to the full text, this database offers indexing and abstracts for nearly 2,440 journals. Business Source Premier contains popular business publications such as Business Week, Forbes, Harvard Business Review, and hundreds of scholarly, peer reviewed journals. Also included is Wall Street Words, a dictionary of financial terms, linked directly to words within the citations and full text.

The best part is you can set up a Journal Alert and have the magazine articles sent to your e-mail:

To get a journal/magazine (not all journals /magazines allow alerts) delivered to your e-mail address each month:

1. Go to GALILEO
Get the current password from your librarian if you want to use GALILEO off campus.
2. Select Databases A-Z (tab near the top far right or link at the bottom center)

12. Fill in that screen- Submit
13. Fill in the info for the e-mail (use a header you’ll recognize)
14. Scroll down and click on Save
When the new issue is added to Ebsco, you’ll get an e-mail with the table of contents for that issue.
