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
