One of our best kept secrets - Emerald Database
As I review the statistics for database usage in our library, one that surprises me that we don't have more searches is in Emerald database. This database covers 21 management subject areas with up to 198 journals the database vendor feels are the most used and downloaded by researchers and students. Their collection also includes case studies, interviews as well as book reviews to support research and study requirements. The scope of their offering includes Accounting and Finance, Business Ethics and Law, Economics, Human Resources Management, Enterprise and Innovation (Small Business Development), Industry Management, International Business, Marketing, Quality Management, Operations and Logistics Management, Organization Studies, Performance Management, Real Estate, Strategy and Tourism. This is just about everything our business college teaches from a management perspective. For your next Mgt 300, Mgt 340 or any other management course assignment -- think Emerald! Come by the library reference desk and we will be glad to give you an overview of this resource.
