This handbook is a guide to doing business research in a university library. Following library location and orientation information, the first section discusses the research paper, i.e., thinking about the topic and planning a research strategy, the flow of information over time, and evaluating sources. Finding and using books, journal articles, newspaper articles, government documents, and statistical information are covered in the next section. The third section explains how to find information on companies and industries. Sources to check when you are having trouble are also listed, and the appendix explains how to use the library's online catalog and serials list. (MES)
