Business & management resources keep improving!

Our new subscription to the database Business Source Complete (BSC) will greatly enhance the business & management information resources available to you.  

The new package (provided by EBSCOHost) dramatically increases the range & number of full-text resources on offer at Aston adding to the content we already subscribe to via Business Source Premier.  For example, in addition to thousands of full-text academic journal & trade magazine titles, we now also have over a million company information records, over 19,000 industry reports, over 9,000 business case studies, over 8,000 analyst reports & some 2,500 market research reports.  In addition to this enhanced coverage BSC still includes thousands of country economic reports & SWOT analyses, of course, and, as importantly, also offers exciting new resources such as video seminars, executive interviews & author profiles.

We hope you gain lots of use from the new BSC database which you can access via the Databases list in Library SmartSearch
