This is the Business Librarian's Favorite source for News. It provides GLOBAL Coverage of the news and provides unique ways to make connections between information search results. NOTE: Limited number of simultaneous users. We have 23 seats or licensed users at any one time. If the database does not log you on try again in a few minutes. If you have persistent issues with log-in connect with the CSUSM Business and Economics Librarian to help you (will work to trouble shoot and provide articles as able).
