Did you know that the Gast Business Library has a Bloomberg terminal?
The Business Library maintains a Bloomberg terminal for College of Business faculty and students. The terminal can be utilized anytime the library is open, roughly 92 hours/week.
What's a Bloomberg terminal?
A Bloomberg terminal brings together real-time data on almost every market and includes breaking news, in-depth research, analytics and insights. It's basically a portal into markets, securities, and assets all over the world. Since Bloomberg—the company—is really at the cutting edge of business intelligence, the Bloomberg terminal is arguably one of the best financial analysis resources available for Broad College affiliates.
If you're a student in the Broad College, you might have already been exposed to Bloomberg via the Financial Analysis Lab in the Eppley Center (Rm 104). Note that the lab is open roughly 68 hours/week.
