Business databases contain Company Information, Market Research, Business News, Peer reviewed journal articles and conference proceedings. When you are carrying out your research for a piece of coursework you will need to search on more than one database to locate the relevant information. This is due to the fact that each database contains different journals so searching multiple databases is fairly important in order to locate the key information for your subject.
