Memorandum

To: UF Business Students

From: Peter McKay, Business Librarian

Re: Discover The Business Library

Hi. My name is Peter McKay. I'm the Business Librarian here at the University of Florida. I'm writing to let you know about UF's Business Library on the Web. You'll always find it at the following URL: http://www.uflib.ufl.edu/cm/business. Or just type in "Business Library" in the Search box on the UF Home Page.

24/7

Our experience here in the Library is that most business students are unaware that they have ready access to a full-fledged electronic business library on campus, at home or from anywhere in the world - 24/7. The Remote Access page explains how to access the Business Library using GatorLink or the Proxy Server. Over the years many students have said that they wish they had known about the Business Databases at the start of their education rather than at the end. You can learn more about the Business Library on the About page.

Guides

You'll also find helpful guides to finding and using business information including a Tour that explains what's in the Business Library, how to navigate it , and how to get the most out of the Articles, Books, Subjects and Databases. There are Tutors on finding Company and Industry information and studying  International Business. Companion Case Studies provide examples of how to use the information in the Databases.

Job Information

When it comes time to look for employment the Company and Industry databases can help you prospect for jobs as well as prepare for interviews. Get the edge in your interviews by showing prospective employers that your are well-informed about the company and what's going on in the industry.

Help When You Need It

Ask a Librarian enables live  communication with a librarian during regularly scheduled hours, Monday through Friday. Feel free to email me or call (273-2634) with questions. You'll find my email address and telephone number on the bottom of every page in the Business Library.

Best Wishes,

Peter
