Finally, news sources are a great place for finding information. News sources include: General Business (e.g., Forbes); Personal Finance (e.g., Money); Consumer (providing information on products and services); Trade (providing, among other things, statistical data on an industry and annual rankings); Scholarly (e.g., Harvard Business Review); and Government (e.g., Federal Reserve Bulletin). (Also, there are likely professional and scholarly blogs associated with various issues and disciplines.)
To perform an aggregated news sources search, librarians recommend LexisNexis, Factiva or Bloomberg. (Here is a Tip Sheet for Article Searching.)
1. In LexisNexis, select the grey News & Business tab. Then, select a database, i.e., Major Newspapers. You will then be prompted to a search box, along with other means for limiting your search, e.g., by date.
2. Factiva may be found by typing “Factiva” into the library catalog: Hollis. Once in this database, you may perform a search similar to that in LexisNexis.
3. Bloomberg is a great source of company and industry news. A Bloomberg terminal is made available to law students by the fourth-floor Reference Desk.
