Business Research Guides

Guides and tutorials produced by staff at other academic business libraries.

These are research guides from academic and other business libraries. We will have many of the sources referred to in these guides in the Foster Business Library, but there may be some that we don't have. Guides from other schools may cite different call numbers for books in the Foster Business Library; consult the UW Libraries Catalog to identify call numbers on this campus. To check the full list of business databases available in the Foster Business Library, consult the List of all Business Databases. For additional assistance, call or come to the Reference Desk in the Foster Business Library, or email us your question.
