Tips, Tricks, and Tools for the Business Researcher

New to the Biz Wiki

I am constantly updating the Biz Wiki, but I thought I would mention a few new updates for this week. The beautiful thing about this wiki is that I can add things as they come up. Additions are usually driven by patron questions. If you’d like to see something added, let me know.

One question we get a lot is about International Tax law and international business regulations. I ahave an article in the Biz Wiki called International Tax, Finance, and Legal Information.

Also, students are always looking for Industry reports/overviews/analyses. I just discovered this morning that I have been neglecting using Mergent Online for Industry reports. They are really good reports, I’ve just forgotten about them for 2 years. (Actually, when we bought Mergent 2 years ago, the collection was not very good, but is has since grown). Take a look at the Biz Wiki article called Mergent Online Industry Reports.

Finally, students still have problems finding annual reports, so I wrote an article at titled Company Annual Reports.

All articles are works in progress (as is the Biz Wiki). If you want to add or edit something, simply click Edit at the top of the page. A user account is required, but it’s easy to create.

As you look at the articles, make sure you take a look at the Category for each one. The category link is like a subject heading (albeit created by Chad) and will lead you to similar stuff. The link to an article’s category is always at the bottom of the page. Also, at times I will put a “See also” link at the bottom of the page to cross-reference another article.

Also, if you’d like to see a list of all the articles, take a look at the All Pages Section. If you want to see which ones have been getting the most traffic, go to the Popular Pages section.

Please let me know if you have any comments or questions.
