It has come to my attention that the sophomore cluster group will be using the most current Fortune 500 list. This list is in the April 5, 2004 edition of Fortune Magazine and can be found at the 4th Floor Circulation Desk. While Business Source Premier provides full-text access to Fortune, there is an emabargo period for the Fortune 500 list, so it will not be available in full-text through Business Source Premier for some time. You can however, access the full-text of previous lists through Business Source Premier.

We also have a print copy of the list at the Reference Desk on the fourth floor.

The list is available online through Lexis-Nexis. To get to the list, you will need to first find Fortune in the Sources list, which is linked at the top of the Lexis-Nexis page. Once you click on “Search this Source,” you can then limit the date to 4/5/2004, and just enter Fortune in the search box. You should get 25 results, which are the full text of the list. If you have any questions, feel free to Ask A Librarian.
