There are many business resources that can be access through the Sherratt Library. The resources fall into three broad categories.
This category of resource usually contains enough information to define a term, or introduce the main points of a topic. The information can be very short to moderately long, but it is generally an overview of a topic, and not an in-depth analysis. The information in these resources is well-established. These resouces in print or electronic forms. The print resources can be found in the Reference coolection on the first floor. Electronic background resources can be located in a few of our databases like Oxford Reference Online, Sage Knowledge and Gale Virtual Reference Library.
The format of a book allows for an in-depth investigation of a topic. The information contained in books is usually newer than what in background information resources. Books are available in print, or as e-book. You can use the library catalog to access both of these formats.

Form business, Business Source Premier is an excellent resource that includes magazines, journals, trade publications, and reports.
