You can find questions and answers about Eikon in the Thomson Reuters Refinitiv Developer Community Forum. It is possible for researchers to register with the Forum, otherwise you can look for tips on using Eikon without having to register. This may be worth exploring!

Database access and security warnings

Writing about web page http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/services/library

Many databases and other electronic resources use a secure http URL and when you log on you may see a severe warning saying that it is unsafe to proceed. If you access any electronic resource provided by our Library, it will be perfectly safe and secure… Always access them from the Library home page, either from the Databases link, or through Encore.

If you use Chrome, click “Advanced” in the window which opens, then click the link below that headed “Proceed… (unsafe)”.

If you use IE, click “Continue to this website (not recommended)”.

This issue is affecting other universities; my colleagues are working to resolve the problems, but we do not know how long that may take. If you find that you cannot access a database, please contact Library@Warwick.ac.uk and our technical staff will help you.

Another tip for certain electronic access problems is to delete your browsing history if you are denied access, then try again.

Online booking system for Datastream in the Library

Writing about web page http://encore.lib.warwick.ac.uk/iii/encore/record/C__Re1000480

You can now book a session on the Datastream PC in the Library by using an online form instead of the old paper booking sheets. Search for Datastream in Encore, the Library catalogue, and you will find the link to the form. If no one has booked the PC, you can use it any time, but please check the bookings in order to avoid arguments!

Datastream provides a good range of data on companies, stock markets, exchange rates and economics topics. You will need a USB stick to save any data which you wish to download. A brief introductory guide is available on the Library web page for Economics. Please contact Helen Riley if you have any enquiries, Helen.Riley@Warwick.ac.uk

Business Source Complete – content upgrade

Writing about web page http://encore.lib.warwick.ac.uk/iii/encore/record/C__Re1000035

Earlier this year the subscription to Business Source Premier was upgraded to provide access to Business Source Complete. This is an excellent source of academic and trade press articles on Business and Economics topics, with a very similar structure to EconLit, so it is easy to search. It also includes country reports, company case studies and SWOT analyses. You can access it through the Library catalogue, Encore; or via the Library's databases list.
