MARVELous Maine week 6 Business Resources
This week I am investigating resources for our business community.....Business Source Complete DataBase.........
I'm looking for information about FM Radio and although that's to basic for any information several periodicals and journal articles pertaining to FM radio did get tagged. Now perhaps I didn't understand but when I checked a "visual" search nothing came at all. At this point this week's assignment has been frustrating!!
It's okay, I'm moving on to the Econlit to search resources for small businesses, now here I've found several 14,362 results, Perceptions-Economics-relationships....etc...
After looking for EPA and small business findings are 61 results and searching "Tax policy and business" I've received 25,201 results.
Onto the database Regional and Business News where I would like to find out information about Toys R Us with results of 1,142. Let's see we've got periodical news on "2012 lenders and investors conferences", "price match guarantees" and so on.
Let's make it alittle closer to our area, I'm searching "Toys R Us in Northern United States". I had to change my "source types" to just newspaper because the exact same information was coming up, however after I did make that change and almost all the articles were from the New York Times.
Lastly I narrowed once again to Maine, searching all source types I came up with 1."Eastern Mountain Sports Announces Grand Opening of New South Portland, ME Location." Reason being...it's next to Toys R Us.
I was able to get right into Value Line and check out the Investment Survey. The survey issues were from today's date 11/09/12 out of 133 stocks I checked out Disney(Walt) which brought up financial strengths which is A++, Stock stability,Total Returns, I could also view a Full Research Report which gives graphs, 17 years of value. unbelievable!!
I decided to check into Apple in the "company look up" and found 1 article for computers 10/05/12 and 1 for Snapple products, for Apple there's a full research report just like with Disney.
Now Wall Street Journal; I'm searching "Small Business and Health Care" my interest would be the article on "What the Health Care Decision Means for Your Small Business". I do like the option of creating alerts but I like the RSS feed for notification of changes more as I would not really know what details I would want for alerts. I would also save the information useful for further research.
Wow enough business for me:)
