Library Guides: COVID-19: Business Research and Resources: Business Research: COVID-19

Introduction

In light of the global pandemic affecting individuals, companies, industries, and markets worldwide, Turchin Library created this guide to business databases with reports and articles about the novel coronavirus and its business, economic, and financial impacts.

In addition to keyword searching, many databases include the ability to add additional filters like company name, industry or NAICS code, location, and type of document. Try narrowing your search using these filters. Additionally, many databases include a "News" section featuring information about companies, industries, and regions.
