 Most people think the library's database collection is intended to aid students with their research, but the collection goes further, assisting you with many major decisions in your life. For instance, did you know the library subscribes to a number of business databases designed to help you with your financial and investment planning? Valueline, Morningstar, Kroll Bond Ratings (formerly Lace Financial) and Mergent Online provide you with valuable information.
