Week 6 Business Resources

Wow, a lot of material to cover!

Business Source Complete
Nearly 4000 sources were found in the search for FM radio but I couldn't get the visual search to work so the left column on the main page worked great for me.

EconLit
I did the suggested searches and then did them a second time adding the word Maine and received many more responses.

Regional Business News
Wal Mart over 9000 responses
Dunkin Douts over 800 responses
L.L. Bean just over 100 responses

Value Line
I was able to get in on the first try, but will have to come back a few more times to feel really confident about showing someone around.  I'm feeling pressed for time and cannot find "full research report", however I do find it interesting to note that Tootsie Roll is one of the top 100 stocks in early December.

Wall Street Journal
There are a lot of results for articles on small business and health care so the limiters are useful.  I think a small business person would be interested in the cost of health care so with limiters to the United States, the last 3 years, insurance policy, coverage the choice was narrowed from over 19000 to 8.  Pretty amazing but I don't think I would be able to answer a specific question.  Again, I am feeling pressed for time so I am not going to try to create an alert.
