1. Welcome: the 19th issue
Welcome new and returning students! Every few months the library publishes a newsletter designed to bring to your attention the wealth of publications and data we offer in print and electronic format. Usually we base our newsletter on a specific research theme (past issues include Researching the travel and tourism sector and Finding financial statement data).  This month however, we have decided to use your most frequent information requests as an introduction to the range of information sources available to you through the IESE library.

Before you read on, why not add the library website to your favourites? Our website is the gateway to all of the resources mentioned in this newsletter. It also offers previous newsletters, resource guides and FAQs. Still can’t find the information you need? Pop into the library in the basement of G Building for a chat with library staff, or try Ask a Librarian, our email information orientation service. You will find a link on every page of the library website.
