Business Source Complete:
"Available information on FM radio"
Trade publications, academic journals, magazines, product reviews, and newspapers
Searching through a visual search made it more difficult since no results were found? I don't know, maybe lets me go to another source.
EconLit:
There were only 8 sources found when I did a search for resources for small business owners. I would think there would be more. Maybe too vague a search. 6 were journal articles which might be beneficial. I chose 'financial resources available to small business owners' only returned 1 source. I also searched 'legal resourcs available to small business owners' which again found only 1 source. Disappointing should I be small business owner, which I'm not.
Regional Business News:
I searched the company my husband works for Sherwin-Williams and found 272 resources and since he is invested in the business I searched Sherwin WIlliams and stocks which in turn narrowed the 200+ down to 59 resources. I could narrow these down by most recent --2011 and 2012 which I found very useful. If a business person were interested in the progress of stocks with Sherwin williams by year then it would be very beneficial. At least I could steer anyone to research options related to several regional companies. I am not that thrilled with the limited resources that came up for me. Maybe I'm not using the correct division of MARVEL EBSCOhost???
As far as a Maine company I tried The Bouchard Family Farm Buckwheat Ployes and found nothing. Then I searched LLBean and only found 6 resources from 2011 and 2012. I would have expected more results.
Value Line: It's all GREEK to me and due to lack of interest I am not a financial whiz nor intend to be in the future.
Wall Street Journal:
Again the search topic makes a huge difference. There were several suggestions which help me assess which options might be best for a small business owner. And yet again most of this is GREEK and of no interest to someone like me who has no use for such topics. No disrespect as I'm sure a public librarian would find this much more useful to his/her clientele. Just not good for 8th graders. Thanks for this experience. I can definitely use this, but probably won't beyond the literature or research based portions of the database.
