Mergent and S&P NetAdvantage: Spotlight on Two Financial Databases

There are some absolutely fantastic databases available for finance related research.  Both Mergent and S&P NetAdvantage are good.  Mergent is best for locating company financial data, news, competitors, and more.  S&P NetAdvantage is also good for company financial data, industry-wide reports, mutual funds, and financial education.  Even if you're not a business major or have a limited interest in finance, those financial education tutorials are awesome.  They're written in plain language (no financial jargon here).  I even learned a few things myself paging through them.

As finals week approaches at Old Westbury, things are getting quite busy.  I'd like to wish everyone a happy holiday season, good luck on your studies, and a wonderful New Year.  Until next time, catch me in the library.
