Support : Publications : Chronolog Archives : January/February 2001 Doing Business on Dialog: Whatever your need is for business information, you're sure to find your answers quickly and easily on Dialog. Over the years Dialog has amassed a formidable collection of data aimed at solving the needs of information professionals and their colleagues. Dialog databases range from complete text offerings of a wide spectrum of journals and trade publications, thoroughly indexed by companies highly regarded in the electronic publishing arena, including:
Financial data In addition to the extensive bibliographic collection, Dialog offers in-depth coverage of company and industry statistics and financials. In Dialog databases you can track interim financials as well as annual reports, insider stock trading, mergers and acquisitions, initial public offerings (IPOs), and much more. Among the authoritative and prestigious providers for financial data to Dialog are:
Business directories Dialog also provides unsurpassed directory coverage of businesses worldwide, providing names, addresses, contact, and product information for millions of businesses located in North and South America, Europe, the Middle East, and in Asia and the Pacific Rim. This data is constantly refreshed assuring you of up-to-date, accurate profiles of every country and the businesses within. Providers of this directory data include:
Newswires, newspapers, and news journals Our large collection of news information covers news events with newswires, newspapers, and news journals from all over the world. Most of the newswires are updated several times per day, so following breaking news is easy. Our newspaper collection covers the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom through local, national, and international news stories. In addition, news journals like Newsweek, Time, and US News & World Report can be found in many of our journal databases. Future Directions What will Dialog be offering its business customers in the future?
Market research Over the past few years, Dialog has been aggressively adding new databases to our market research collection. We provide market research reports in their entirety, or by individual page, offering customers the flexibility to target their requests to filter out the most salient facts to meet their information needs. Early in 2001 we will be adding two more market research files — 1) File 753, IBISWorld Market Research, and 2) File 759, Reuters Business Insight. These files will greatly enhance our already rich collection, providing coverage of trends in industries worldwide. Enhanced coverage of news Dialog is committed to building our news collection and providing quick, easy access to news stories. We have started the year with two new news sources from the United Kingdom — 1) File 757, Mirror Group Publications (United Kingdom), and 2) File 756, Daily and Sunday Telegraph (London). Links to related data Perhaps the most exciting development of all is the capability to extend your search beyond Dialog databases to documents that are related to your search or that provide the completion of your information quest. The first product along these lines is Investext® PDF Index which leads you to PDF copies of the complete text of investment research reports via DialogSelect (see related article, page 9). Many more similar products are currently in development that will link you to documents of interest beyond the Dialog environment. Keep your eye on Dialog to be the industry leader in providing exciting, innovative products into the next decade. |
