In today's business world, success is all about providing value, and while you may not think about the Nashua Public Library as a business, many of our operational decisions are driven by the need to provide our customers with value. One significant investment that we make with the intention of providing value is in the purchase of electronic databases. Today I want to share with you how one database in particular provides great value to customers interested in business information.
The database is named Business Source Premier, and it is one of many databases made available through our EBSCO subscriptions. To access this database, start by going to the library's home page, http://www.nashualibrary.org. Then roll over the link for 'Databases', then move down to 'Most Popular' and then over to 'EBSCO.' Finally, click on EBSCO. (See below graphic.)
When you get to the main menu of EBSCO databases, click on Business Resources. At the next screen, click on Business Source Premier.
One of the publications available in full text within this database is Harvard Business Review. An annual subscription to this journal alone is $99. With a Nashua Public Library card, you get it for free. Some of the articles available in the June 2007 issue include
