"With Business & Company Resource Center,
Gale has created wide-ranging content suited for researchers seeking
detailed company and industry news and information. Material is
up-to-date, especially if the database includes the Investext Plus
module (we retrieved a number of Investment Reports posted the day
of our search). Searching and navigation work well...Recommended
for public libraries serving business and industry researchers,
as well as those institutions supporting the finance, economics,
management, or marketing curricula at the undergraduate and graduate
level."
Library Journal (Winter 2003)
"Gale's recent introduction of Business & Company
Resource Center 2.0 and EBSCO's enhancements to Business
Source Premier, Business Source Elite, Business Source Corporate,
and Corporate ResourceNet provide more choices for business research.
These products also provide more opportunities for information professionals
to educate users of business information and more points of befuddlement
regarding what products to purchase..The content in Business &
Company Resource Center has expanded beyondjournal titles to include
Market Share Reporter, World Market Share Reporter, First Call Earnings
Estimates Snapshot, Encyclopedia of American Industries, and Encyclopedia
of Emerging Industries. These join existing sources such as Investext,
PROMT, Gale Newsletter Database, and Trade & Industry.
"Gale has expanded and deepened the scope of Business
& Company Resource Center considerably with this new
release. It is loaded with options for finding business information
and is highly recommended for public, academic, and special libraries."
Library Journal (April 2003)
"Recommended for public libraries serving business and industry
researchers, as well as those institutions supporting the finance,
economics, management, or marketing curricula at the undergraduate
and graduate level."
Library Journal (January 2003)
"...designed to meet the needs of undergraduate and graduate
business students, job searchers, and casual investors...extensive
help screens...All collections."
Choice (Febraury 2001)
"Gale's Business and Company Resource Center (BCRC)
is a one-stop portal for business and industry content including
periodical articles, domestic and international company information
and histories, investment reports, brand and product information,
rankings, and financial and industry overviews...Like other Gale
products BCRC is well researched and carefully edited, and it has
potential for libraries with large business collections. Because
most of these libraries will probably continue to provide expensive
services available from Standard & Poor's, Moody's, and Dow
Jones, librarians will need to consider whether the content of BCRC
justifies its cost."
Booklist (January 2001)
"Business & Company Resource Center is Gale
Group's first online business resource combining Gale proprietary
reference with continuously updated periodical information...Search
options are directed at researchers who mean business...For those
researchers who wish for more choices...options are available."
