Datastream Learning Resources

Writing about web page https://customers.reuters.com/trainingknowledgenetwork/Datastream/Index.html

The Thomson Reuters Knowledge Network provides a variety of training materials for users of Datastream.

The on-demand e-tutorials require you to sign up for a free account with Thomson Reuters Customer Zone, but the video tutorials can be viewed online by anyone.

For Datastream beginners I would recommend viewing:

• Retrieving and Analyzing Data in Excel
• Finding Codes with Navigator

New interface for Amadeus and Fame

The Bureau van Dijk databases Amadeus and Fame are updating to a new interface later this week.

From Monday 25th October links to both Amadeus and Fame will automatically direct you to the new interface. Many of the search functions remain the same but the look of the site will change. A database factsheet for Amadeus showing the new interface can be downloaded from this blog post.

If you have any searches or list formats saved on the old version of either database please contact Emma Cragg for help exporting them.
