Many law students know the
Factiva database as a great source for news and business articles. But
Factiva is much more than articles. Just select the "Companies/Markets" tab on the main page, and a wealth of clear and reliable information on individual companies is quickly at hand. After clicking on "Companies," enter the company name or symbol to bring up a concise "Snapshot" page. The "snapshot" includes a company description, key executives and financials, a list of competitors in the industry, recent stock price activity, and the most current news and trade articles relating to the company. For more information, detailed company profile reports and financials are also available from the menu.
Factiva, a subscription database made available through the
Axinn Library, is accessible from a link on the Law Library's "
Online Resources" page under Commercial and Corporate Law; Business databases (
Axinn). You can also link to
Factiva from the "
Research Databases" list on the Libraries page of the
Hofstra University website. Just be aware that there are a limited number of licenses for this database. If you are unable to access
Factiva, try again later. If you have any questions about
Factiva, ask your favorite reference librarian.
