Bloomberg Database On Trial!

Monday, June 29th, 2009

The Library recently had a presentation on Bloomberg database and we now have a trial of the Database until Friday 17th July.

The purpose of the trial is to seek feedback so we would encourage students and staff to come and use the database while it is on trial.

Details of trial:

Bloomberg is available on one the IRESS terminals in the Graduate Economics and Business Library. There are booking sheets next to the terminal so you can nominate a time to use the terminal. You will need to ask desk staff to sign you into the terminal.

On Tuesday 30th June we have Emily a Bloomberg trainer on hand who will run 3 one hour sessions on how to use Bloomberg and should be able to answer specific questions.

The sessions are 2pm-3pm
3pm-4pm
4pm-5pm

The training will take place around the terminal so we will need to ensure numbers are spread between sessions so if you could email me if you would like to come to a training session and depending on numbers we may have to divide you into a specific session. Please email Anne Draper A.Draper@library.uq.edu.au if you would like to book a place at the training.
