New Fame interface

Fame (Financial Analysis Made Easy) has a new interface - check it out via Library Search

Fame contains detailed financial information for 130,000 public and private British companies, with inbuilt data analysis software.

Welcome new students and welcome back returning students from the WBS Librarians!

For new students your induction and the information on the Library & IT services webpages should give you all the information you need to start using Library and IT services.  You can also pick up a user's guide at any of the four libraries or access an online copy here.

Keep your eye on this blog (and subscribe to get updates straight to your email inbox) for information about library resources, details of training and links to online training guides to help you make the most of the Library.

***New this year*** Use Library Search to find books, view your library account to see what books you have and when they are due back, and to renew and reserve books.  Use Library Search to find journals, e-journals and articles for your assignments.  Use Library Search to access e-resources needed for your study such as Business Source Complete, Emerald and Mintel.  We will be recommending useful resources on this blog.

See also the FAQs on this blog, which will be regularly updated with questions such as "where can I get company SWOT analyses?".  Feel free to ask questions and leave comments on the blog.  We will also be adding a link to our profile pages soon so that you can access all our contact details if you want to contact us for training or to ask any questions.

We look forward to seeing you all during the course of the academic year!
