New Member Benefit: Business Database Access

"Allowing access to critical information such as current market trends, capital markets analysis, detailed company financial information and analyst reports that are essential in competing in today's global economy provides significant value to DLC members. Companies pay thousands of dollar for such access! The DLC is well-worth my investment and having access to these types of resources is a major bonus for all members."

As part of our quest to provide useful services to friends and supporters, the Dean’s Leadership Circle is pleased to announce an exciting new pilot project co-sponsored by the UC Irvine Libraries and The Paul Merage School of Business.

This new service provides members of the Merage Dean’s Leadership Circle (DLC) and UC Irvine Library Partners with remote access to valuable electronic business databases exclusive to members for personal research and investment needs. These databases are:

• Value Line Investment Survey: Contains information and advice on approximately 1,700 stocks, more than 90 industries, the stock market, and the economy. Includes up-to-date statistics on a company’s investment profile; economic and stock market forecasts, one-page write-ups of selected stocks, model portfolios, and financial and stock market statistics.
• Snapshots North America: Snapdata's collection of U.S and Canadian market research reports on many products and services. These industry profile reports provide information on market size, market shares, forecasts, and a list of the key competitors.

This new project also offers DLC members complimentary membership in the Library Partners and other benefits including library borrowing privileges and invitations to library events.

To access these new electronic resources, click here:

We are scheduling upcoming workshops to provide you hands on experience on how to use these resources and easily access the information you need. These workshops will be open to DLC members and Partners of the UC Irvine Libraries. For further information or questions, Sandra Findly, Director, and staff members of the Dean’s Leadership Circle, can help answer your questions at 949.824.8865 or via email to DeansLeadershipCircle@merage.uci.edu.
