Finding STAT-USA

I just got a question about how to find STAT-USA on our business school website... You're right, it's not there! I'll fix that, but it will take a few days.

There IS a link to it from our main library web site: STAT-USA. Because it is run by the U.S. government, you can also find it online, via Google, etc. The passwords we shared in class will work from either location.  If you can't find your passwords,  email me mollman@wustl.edu - I'd rather not post them on a public blog.

One other 'heads up', we currently have access for only one person at a time (this is one of the few government services with subscription rates). If you can't get in immediately, just try again later. I'll investigate the cost of more access for the next class. I know, it doesn't help you now! Thanks for being patient-

EIU Country Reports Coverage

You may have noticed that the EIU Country Reports are limited in our contract to about 40 countries. That means you may not find your assigned country on the list. This semester, the 'missing' countries are Vietnam, Sweden and Spain.

The good news is that we do have access to EIU reports for these countries, but you have to go through another database, Business Source Premier . Under the browse section of the opening page, choose 'Country Reports'. Then put in your particular country, and follow the links.

As always, contact me if you need help- Carol Mollman  mollman@wustl.edu
