Why you should know this database: The University Senate will soon consider adopting an Open Access policy such as those at Harvard, MIT, Princeton, and the University of Kansas. On November 2 there will be a presentation and Q&A session, See details at What is an Open Access Policy? Why should Purdue faculty care?
How students can contribute: The work of Purdue University undergraduate and graduate students may also be deposited if the appropriate collection has been established. See, for example, the CFS Honors Program Undergraduate Theses and the College of Technology Directed Projects.

Welcome to this feature from the Roland G. Parrish Library of Management & Economics. These database snapshots will give you basic information about our most relevant and beneficial online resources.
Database name: Mediamark Reporter, from GfK Mediamark Research & Intelligence.
Link: www.lib.purdue.edu/mel, in the pull down Quick Access to Business Databases alpha list right below the Libraries’ search box.
Description/focus: Mediamark Reporter provides demographic, lifestyle, product usage, and media data.
Start with this hint: Mediamark Reporter (use Internet Explorer) requires first-time users to create an account using your Purdue email and a password of your choosing. After you login and enter the database called MRI+, you can explore the choices under Getting Started, but the real substance is accessed by clicking on Mediamark Reporter in the banner next to the tabs. Click here to see the basics of selecting options in Mediamark Reporter. If the goal is to find out which population groups are the best potential market for a product or service, the column of Index numbers tells which groups are likely targets. For personalized assistance with navigating this database, email your request to kranlib@purdue.edu.
Why you should know this tool: Mediamark Reporter includes historic demographic data back to 2005 so that comparisons can be made.
How this will help students: A marketing plan should include data on user preferences. This kind of information is included in SimplyMap (see Database of the Week for September 2, 2011) but Mediamark Reporter displays the data in a spreadsheet which might be more straightforward than a geographic display for some students. The interface is not intuitive, but students can get assistance with a request emailed to kranlib@purdue.edu.
Cost: Paid annually by the Libraries.
