The resources cited below will help you find business information in the Rosenfeld Library and on the Web efficiently and effectively. The listing is not exhaustive, and is meant to be a starting point; there are many other items in the Rosenfeld Library, as well as in other UCLA campus libraries and business libraries elsewhere, which can help facilitate your search for information. If you cannot identify a useful resource for your information need, please consult a reference librarian.

Most databases are covered by licenses limiting access to academic use by UCLA faculty and current UCLA students, with some limited to Anderson School use only. Most databases are available for remote access by user groups (Anderson · UCLA · UC) as noted. Additional conditions of use may apply. Most databases require cookies enabled. With almost no exceptions, there are no passwords for the databases—access is controlled by IP address authentication.
