Company research is among the most challenging assignments we see here at the UVU Library. We've invested in several databases that can make finding stock prices, company histories, market research, and more easily available.

Business Source Premier

Business Source Premier is our go-to database for most business research questions. It contains scholarly and professional articles, as well as news articles. Articles cover marketing, human resources, economics, management, and many more topics.

International Directory of Company Histories

Available in the Reference Collection, the International Directory of Company Histories is the best place to get detailed histories of companies from their founding to the date the book was published. We have a standing subscription to this multi-volume work, so updated histories are available.

Mergent

Mergent contains basic company data, but it shines when it comes to tracking down company financials. It contains historic stock prices, balance sheets, earnings, and copies of some SEC filings. Mergent only contains information on publicly traded companies.


Ben Wilson is our business subject librarian and can answer in-depth questions about company and business research. You can also feel free to stop by the Reference Desk on the first floor or call us at (801) 863-8840 to get some initial help with your research.
