There are two main types of databases accessible in the library, through "FIND ARTICLES & BOOKS." Keep in mind that the most popular databases are: ABI Inform Global Collection, Academic Search Complete, and Business Source Complete. As a graduate student, you must steer away from inferior Web sites with anonymous writers, articles found on consultant Web sites, materials on sites like QuickMBA.com, MarketingProfs.com, etc. Dictionaries and Encyclopedias most often repeat the information from your text. Acceptable Internet resources include among others government sites (especially for statistics). You are not permitted to use any open-source Web site in this course.
