Depending on your specific topic, you may find
resources listed on the subject pages for:
Management and Economics to be
useful in addition to the resources listed below.
The following databases/indexes are designed to provide links to

Catalog and, perhaps, the
OhioLINK catalog.
1. Databases/indexes to find
periodical articles - These databases are designed to
help you identify relevant periodical articles through keyword or
subject searches. In most cases there will be links to either
the online version of the article or a listing of the library's
holdings. If you are not sure, you may check the library's
periodical
holdings list and/or its
list of
online journals. These databases are listed in the order
in which the library recommends them.

consider searching these databases.
