Conducting Research

Locating eJournals@Emory

Wondering if Emory subscribes to a particular journal electronically? Trying to locate an article for which you have a citation?

What financial portfolio analysis platforms do you subscribe to? 

GBL has two Bloomberg terminals located in the Business Library; you can reserve time via the online scheduler. Additional terminals are available first come, first serve at the business school.   GBL also subscribes to FactSet and Thomson Reuters EIKON. GBL does not subscribe to Capital IQ. Read more.

Can I download business ebooks and/or audio books to listen to during my long commute to work, or while I travel?

Yes, audiobooks and ebooks are available via Overdrive, and may be checked out and downloaded to your own mobile device. 

You may also check out a Business Kindle, preloaded with 150+ business books.  Just come by the Business Library and any of the staff can help you.

Can I locate Harvard case studies and articles in the library so I don’t have to pay for them via Study.net?

Unfortunately Harvard Publishing licenses all materials for course readings exclusively through Study.net and GBS is legally bound to comply with this requirement.  You can access HBR articles via Business Source Complete, but Harvard requires they be purchased via Study.net when readings are part of your course curriculum. Read more.

Can I find my class textbooks in the library’s collection?

Unfortunately the cost of annually purchasing updated editions of textbooks is prohibitive and would divert dollars from purchasing new databases and other important resources. Read more.

What else do I need to know?

See our Suggestion Box blog with questions your fellow students have asked over the years. 

Proper User of GBL and Emory Libraries Subscription Databases

Emory database licensing agreements allow student usage for coursework, career preparation and personal enrichment. It is illegal to use Emory Libraries databases for your employer or internship. Both the honor code and Emory policy mandate the proper use of licensed databases.

According to Emory's Copyright Infringement Policy, students, faculty and employees are required and expected to adhere to US copyright law, which restricts reproduction, distribution, and other uses of copyrighted materials.  

See our examples of appropriate and inappropriate use of Emory Libraries databases.

How to Cite Your Sources

Don’t Plagiarize! Remember your ethical and legal copyright obligations; cite all sources you use in your presentations and reports. 

Citing Sources in your Slide Decks

Giving credit to the sources you reference in your presentation is not only about compliance with copyright laws (database vendors require complete citations as part of their licensing agreements); it’s also a critical part of building credibility and trust with your client.

For guidelines for correctly citing sources in your decks and bibliographies, see the GBL Citation Guide for PowerPoint presentations and the GBL Citation Guide for papers. 

Reserve a Group Work/Study Room

Library Hours

Building hours following the University calendar. Check our hours here for the Woodruff Library Building and the Goizueta Business Library. You will need your EmoryCard to pass through the Woodruff Library Building’s turnstyles; download this EmoryCard app as back up in case you don’t have your EmoryCard with you.

Business Librarians offer appointments and office hours.
