• The Assignment: Treasure Hunt #2
• More Library Help from the Virtual Reference Desk.
• Hoover's business database website. For example, here's what it will tell you about one of the world's biggest media companies,Time Warner. Notice the gold stars on information it will only show to customers.
• But through the UNC and state library systems, you are a customer! Compare Hoover's Website with the Hoover's search through EBSCO, the publishing company. (Note: We've had some troubles with the new interface to this database, but keep trying. To get there the long way, go to library.unc.edu, select electronic indexes and databases, then select NCLive. Select "electronic resources," select EBSCO, and either click on "login to EBSCO Host," or click on EBSCO host 1.1" (We've had more luck with the latter; which identifies itself as an older version for Lynx users. The newer version seems to connect, but some searches that should work come up empty, at least as of July 30, 1998.) Finally, select Hoover's from the list of databases and search away!
• For even more business sources, see UNC Business Librarian Rita Moss's recently-updated list of Business Information Resources
• We've had this as a "related site" earlier in the term but didn't talk about it in class: Project Vote Smart, which is another source of information about your elected representatives
