Finding definitions

Legal Definitions:

  • Black's Law Dictionary - known as the quintessential source for legal dictionaries. At UNC, this source is only available in print at the Michener Library Reference Desk (call number = KF156 .B53 1999)
  • Findlaw Law Dictionary
  • Law.com Dictionary
  • Legal Definitions & Legal Terms - from U.S. Legal Forms, Inc. In addition to definitions, find associated news and or court cases where the defined term is applicable, when available.
  • Legal Glossary - from Nolo.com, this glossary is written with the layperson in mind.

 

 

Where can I find articles or resources?

Online business databases provide trade journal articles for specific industries or markets. Access the following databases from the Libraries’ Article Finder (http://library.unco.edu/articlefinder.htm) web page. Recommended databases include:

  • ABI Inform - features articles from nearly 3,000 worldwide business periodicals for in-depth coverage of business and economic conditions, management techniques, theory and practice of business, advertising, marketing, economics, human resources, finance, taxation, computers, and more.
  • Business Source Premier - in addition to traditional articles, find many company financials.
  • LexisNexis Academic – the Business section of this database provides some often forgotten treasures. Company profile searches retrieve information from a broad range of sources including some Hoover’s reports and Standard and Poor’s resources.
  • Proquest Business Databases - includes several business-related resources such as ABI/INFORM Global, Accounting & Tax Newspapers, Accounting & Tax Periodicals, Banking Information Source, Business Dateline, Career & Technical Education, ProQuest Asian Business & Reference, and ProQuest European Business.
  • Wall Street Journal - use this ProQuest interface to find articles from 1984-present.

      
     

    How to find books

    For Books from UNC Libraries:

    • The Source catalog lists books and other materials in Michener Library and the Skinner Music Library. Start with a WORD search, entering a word or combinations of words that describe your topic.
