Finding Company Information

Company research databases are available from the library's Business and Economics subject guide. Use the Mergent Online database to access company descriptions and financial statements for over 15,000 publicly-traded U.S. companies. LexisNexis Academic provides company financial statements and descriptions for international companies. To view basic descriptions of privately-held U.S. companies, use ReferenceUSA (ReferenceUSA must be used in the library).

Free Journal Sentinel

Free copies of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel are available in the outer lobby of the west wing of the library. Of course, you can also read the library's copy of this and other newspapers – including titles ranging from The Washington Post to Die Zeit – in the Current Periodicals room on the west wing's lower level. Many titles are also available online, via the electronic journals list.
