Independent Investment Information through Value Line Investment Survey

The Libraries recently added the online version of Value Line Investment Survey to our electronic reference collections. The Survey database includes weekly issues of reports from both the Standard and Small & Mid-Cap editions. Reports include financials, ranking, projections, business profile, and commentary. You can search or browse for reports by ticker symbol, company name or industry; browse rankings; screen stocks by multiple critieria, including timeliness or performance, social responsibility, financial strength, etc.; and generate custom reports.

Value Line is a comprehensive source of investment information. If you have questions about its purpose or would like assistance using it, contact Mike Davis, Business Reference Services Librarian, at 545-6822.

Chemistry Resource ‘SciFinder’ Now Available via the Web

Long available only with the Scholar client, you can now register for an account to search SciFinder via the web. When you register for a web account, you’ll receive your own username and password. This, in conjunction with IP authentication of a computer on the UMass network, will enable you to search SciFinder through your web browser, rather than with the Scholar client.

To register for a SciFinder web account and to connect to the SciFinder web version, visit the Library’s SciFinder page. Should you want to download the SciFinder Scholar client, it’s available from this page too.

The Library has purchased access to SciFinder for 6 simultaneous users. Please, when you finish your work, logoff SciFinder so others can connect to it.

For more information about the database, visit the SciFinder site. If you would like assistance using SciFinder, contact the Chemistry librarian, Paulina Borrego.
