From Graffiti: Looking for Financial Data on Companies and Industries?
Looking for Financial Data on Companies and Industries?
The Claremont Colleges subscribe to databases that provide access to detailed historical financial information. They include extensive data such as income and balance sheet information and stock market data. Some series have information from as far back as 1950. One database is Standard & Poors’ (S&P) Research Insight, available for use only within the Libraries. The second database includes S&P as well as CRSP (Chicago Research in Securities Prices) data, and is available via the Internet through WRDS, a specialized interface, restricted to Claremont Colleges faculty, staff & students. This database also requires a special personal password issued by a faculty member. In order to use these databases, it is helpful to have an introduction from the Business Librarian, Mary Martin. She can reached by email at mary.martin@libraries.claremont.edu
or ext. 18923.—Mary Martin, Business Librarian
