This research guide is intended to act as a jumping off point to the resources available to you as an Owen alumni. Feel free to download Library Research Tips: Alumni .
Did you know that all the information you need is not free on the Web? In fact, most information is hidden in databases, behind firewalls, and is available only by paying subscriptions or fees or memberships.
The Walker Management Library has purchased and licensed remote access for Owen Alumni for an select set of databases. In them, you'll find published industry studies, analyst reports, news articles, company profiles, market research, financial information, demographics, statistics and more. This is the kind of information you need to do a complete company, industry and country analysis.
Librarians are available for consultation throughout your career. We are your business information partners - for life!

Reach out to industry experts: journalists that cover your industry, financial analysts, industry associations and academics. If you don’t know insiders in your network, identify them through publications, industry associations, and trade meetings. To find these easily, see the Trade Associations section of this guide.
