FNCE 4050 Capital Investment Analysis: Home

The University Libraries subscribe to thousands of databases full of articles, statistics, and other content for you to use. The most useful ones for this class are linked here. Use the tabs on the left to find relevant sources for data and articles by topic.

Do I have access to articles and data off campus?

Yes! You can access nearly all of the proprietary resources online using your identikey. Just use the links from one of the library guides or the catalog and enter your identikey when prompted. The few exceptions are marked with a VPN icon (super easy download from CU OIT here).

What about copyright?

The library collections are subject to these terms of use. If you are planning to use the data solely for your own commercial interests, you should probably rethink that. Violations risk shutting down access for everyone. Ask me if you have any questions!

How do I find it all?

Guides like this one are great places to start. You can also browse though all of the Business databases in alphabetical order, search the catalog, find articles by discipline, or talk to your librarian.

What if I can't find it online?

You have options!

• If we don't own it but we should, natalia.dolan@colorado.edu.
• If we only have it in print and you need a scan (benchmark ratios, for example) request it through the Illiad system.
• If another library has it and you want to borrow their copy, request through Interlibrary Loan (ILL).

What kind of help is available?

• The Business Library team can help you find information and troubleshoot access problems. Try librarian roulette (a.k.a. instant message) for general questions or troubleshooting.
• Email questions about your library account to libraries@colorado.edu.
• OIT can help with laptop problems, software issues, or VPN questions.
• The Writing Center is available for help with writing and presentations. Click here and scroll down for hours and information.
