Chapter 1: Business Information

Michael Lavin's Business Information: How to Find It, How to Use It is perhaps one of the preeminent books on business reference information. It will show you a great number of business resources and how to find them and use them. Unfortunately, it is a thick book, covering over 500 pages with small print and a great deal of information you may not always need. Nevertheless, it is reader-friendly and essential for those who wish an in-depth coverage of business information. Although it is not a book about specific companies, statistics, functional areas (marketing, human resources, etc.), or regulations, it has such a comprehensive listing and description of business references that it is useful for anyone interested in business research, and it is particularly recommended for senior-level and graduate students and business faculty. The book Web site is: www.oryxpress.com. If Business Information is so good, why should you purchase Business Research Sources: A Reference Navigator? The answer lies in the depth and complexity of understanding reference works. Business Information is written for professional information analysts and students dedicated to a deeper understanding of the subject. Business Research Sources is written for those who simply need a road map to their goals of research versus those who relish the sophistication of an atlas.
