Specialist Library Support
The Library provides expert support to students, staff and researchers in the specialist areas of business data, copyright, referencing support, advanced searching and systematic reviews. This includes:
If you’ve tried our online resources and workshops and need more help, you can get expert help via our online help pages, attending a drop-in session, giving us a call or arranging a consultation.
The Business Data Service runs a series of open training sessions throughout the year on various databases, financial datasets and specific research topics.
The training provided will help improve your knowledge of Business and Management resources and develop your research skills for individual assignments, group projects and/or dissertation/theses research.
Business data workshops appear on the calendar six weeks before they are due to run.
Update: we have retired the Business Research Plus blog but you may still use it as an archived resource.
Business Research Plus is a research blog with two main goals.
Firstly, it is a research tool designed to provide students and staff at the Manchester Business School and the University of Manchester with specialist advice and support. It provides advice and guidance on the comprehensive range of business and management resources available to them. It also intends to maximise their use of these resources through the provision of expert informed comment and research assistance from library staff. The library team supports the research and teaching needs of one of the world’s leading business schools and is part of the University of Manchester Library, one of the UK’s great research libraries. The team is therefore uniquely placed to add real value to student and faculty research needs. This blog is one of our growing range of services.
Secondly, it is acts as both a resource tool and forum for business researchers and business information professionals across the globe. It encourages debate, generating ideas and discussion on the full range of business information provision and the support of business research.
The business data online resources are written to help students and researchers to make effective and accurate use of the specialist financial and business databases available at The University of Manchester. They are designed to help you to help yourselves, where possible.
If you find that these guides are not enough, you may wish to search Library Help for previous asked questions, or our archived blog Business Research Plus for older posts that go into much more detail.
Visit the list on the Library website for an index of all the guides. They are organised into the following topics.
