Business & Company Resource Center 2.0, an online product, expands from its predecessor including both new content and new functions. "Highly recommended" by Library Journal, Business & Company Resource Center has become a staple on the networks of public and academic libraries serving businesses and business students. Originally released in 2000, the product has been embraced for the broad range of business research needs it addresses -- from management and strategy to operational or financial research on nearly any issue or company. Business & Company Resource Center integrates in a single search interface daily news, investment and financial data, and such hard-to-find information as corporate histories and chronologies. Version 2.0 includes expanded search options, which allow users to search for companies by product, brand and industry. New article searching options include subject guide, keyword and full-text searches. More advanced searches allow concurrent searches of up to 10 journals or customized searches that allow users to search individual datasets by multiple index fields. Additionally, company profiles now include topical links to articles, while within the News/Magazine tab, users have access to facsimile image PDFs. New Content in Version 2.0 includes several Gale print business titles, such as Encyclopedia of American Industries, Encyclopedia of Global Industries, Encyclopedia of Emerging Industries, Market Share Reporter and World Market Share Reporter. Gale continues to leverage its Thomson family ties to include complete and authoritative financial data. Content from Thomson Financial such as Investext, selected First Call data, company performance ratings, balance sheets, current investment ratings, insider buying and selling activity is enhanced in Version 2.0 with First Call Earnings Estimates Snapshot. Also new to the new version is content from the business sections of over 70 newspapers. Gale was careful to retain the strengths of the original product. For example, its global and diverse content, which creates comprehensive reports on virtually any business research question or project. Depth and context continues to be provided with extensively researched company profiles, that delineate parent/sibling relationships, products and brands, histories, industry rankings and statistics, stock prices. Industry context is provided with continuously updated news, magazine and newswire data, along with investment reports, consumer marketing data, and emerging technology reports, industry newsletter news and analysis, business journal articles and press releases. Additionally, Business & Company Resource Center, 2.0, retains its easy to use navigation. Information is organized within 'file folders,' which Library Journal called 'especially useful,' allowing users to begin a search with any piece of information, but also view it within the context of an entire company profile. The user can scan "file tabs" to determine which direction to pursue. Tabs remain consistent, making it easy to switch directions or gather additional data.
