Research Companies

Prior to interviewing for a job and accepting an offer of employment, you will want to conduct some research about the organization you are considering. What are its products and services? Who are its customers and competitors? Where are its various offices located around the world? What does the annual report say about the stability and mission of the company?

You can search for this kind of information in the library database collection:

• Business Source Premier
  Use the Company Profile tab to access Datamonitor report with a general overview of your company.

• Lexis-Nexis
  Find company information by selecting the Business tab and browsing company profiles that may include company description, historical profile, competitors, financials, industry information, and biographies of executives.

To use these resources, go to the databases webpage.

The following web sites provide a great deal of information about various companies and industries.
