MiM Library Research Tutorials

The Butler University Libraries website is your starting point for most of the research resources you will use at Butler.  Take a good look at the image below and/or visit the website before you begin the tutorials:  https://www.butler.edu/library  

This tutorial will help you learn about two important library tools for your Butler course research.

You will find detailed information on companies in research databases.  Review the presentation linked below to learn about Butler databases for company research.  

Part of company research is learning more about the industry in which the company operates.  For example, if you are researching Kroger, it would be helpful to know more about the overall grocery store industry.  Complete the IBISWorld tutorial below to learn how to find an industry report. 

TIP:  This tutorial usually works better in the Chrome browser.  

This tutorial will help you learn about Mergent Online, a database with detailed financials for public companies.  NOTE:  Mergent has a limit of five (5) simultaneous users.  If all logins are in use, and you cannot open Mergent, wait a few minutes and try again.
