Proprietary Search Pro Tip: Company Research Databases on the Cheap

If you do not already have access to a major university library (likely through your Alma Mater), I highly recommend enrolling in a college course (even just an audit) at your nearest major university with a well-known business school.

Why? If the university has a strong business program, it's very likely they have subscriptions to most of the major business research databases and as a student you will then be able to access all of those databases for fractions of pennies on the dollar that they separate subscriptions would cost you.

The course is irrelevant, you simply want a student email and access to the library resources.

Happy hunting!

Aside from some of the websites we get access to through search funder, what other resources have you found that you can access through a school or library account that are worth investigating?

GF Data is a good resource.
