This Week’s Featured Database: LexisNexis Company Dossier, from LexisNexis, Inc.
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: LexisNexis Company Dossier provides company information.
Start with this hint: If you are looking for a private company, enter the company name and LexisNexis Company Dossier will give you a list of guesses. Try, for example, Hallmark to find information about the greeting card company. The name search strategy will also work for a publicly traded company, but it is more efficient to search by ticker.
