Lexis/Nexis Databases

Lexis/Nexis is well-known for providing news and legal information, but it also has several excellent databases. Here are a few:

Accounting Literature consists of 18 accounting sources, including journals and other literature.

Disclosure Reports contains business and financial information extracted from annual and periodic reports filed with the Securities an Exchange Commission for over 10,000 publicly-owned companies. A real strength of this database is the financial ratios calculated for each company.

Roper Center for Public Opinion Research provides access to the Public Opinion Poll, the most comprehensive full-text collection of public opinion in the United States. It covers the full spectrum of public interest including politics and government, public institutions, international relations, business, social affairs and consumer behavior and preferences.
