Description: From Booklist
Since the first, 1988 edition of this classic business reference, business information has experienced a revolution--user-friendly and sometimes free access to online databases filled with company, association, and government information. However, along with more readily available information, the complexities of questions and patron expectations have also risen. The basic organization of the first edition has been followed, dividing the Handbook into two main sections: "Formats" and "Fields of Business Information." The "Format" section includes guides, directories, periodicals, loose-leaf services, and electronics. "Fields" covered include marketing, accounting and taxation, banking, stocks and bonds, futures, insurance, and real estate. Responding to the globalization of business and economies, international resources are featured in each chapter. Appendixes cover acronyms, federal government agencies, state agencies, and selected Web sites. A title and a subject index complete the volume. Most business collections will want to purchase. RBB
