The objective of this LibGuide is to provide information on where to find and how to access economic and financial data, either through web-based resources or online databases subscribed by the Victoria University. The main Financial databases available are Datastream with Eikon, and Orbis (Bureau van Dijk).
Other LibGuides include. Bachelor of Business, Master of Business, and Bachelor of Business- Statistics and Reports.
The LibGuide Statistics and Mathematical Software also contains information on data sources. This LibGuide uses a data type-based approach rather than a source-based approach. It will guide users to locate the sources of data they need.
