The Wall Street Journal

dboerner — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 17:51:20 +0000

Only of use to TCU folks- to access the Wall Street Journal (full text): I am giving you instructions on how to only search through the Wall Street Journal publication.

Go to the TCU database, Factiva (note: this database only allows 5 users at a time, so if a nonTCU password screen pops up, that means that 5 people are currently using the database, and you’ll have to try later- wait 10-15 minutes) (I’m taking a breath now!)
Note: You may just want to double click the image below vs. reading all this verbage!
Type your search in the search box
Make sure the date range works for your needs
Click the “Source” plus sign
Click on the “Group: WSJ Publications” link (this should make it show up in pink above the Source search box)
Click “Run Search”
DONE!

International Statistical Agencies

Our census bureau has kindly created a page of links (listed alphabetically by country) into the statistical agencies of other countries. A great resource if you are researching another country! Nuf said.

CEO Compensation

The Wall Street Journal published their CEO Compensation Survey. You can view it at http://s.wsj.net/public/resources/documents/CEO_SURVEY_041108.pdf

If you want to read some of the articles about the survey, go to the TCU database, Factiva and complete the following steps (or take a look at the screen shot below):

1. Expand the ‘Source’ box by clicking on the + sign. Click on ‘Group: WSJ Publications’ so that it appears as a pink link at the top of the source box.

2. In the drop down box next to ‘Date’, choose ‘enter date range’ and then enter 04/14/2008 in both boxes.

3. In the free text box type “ceo compensation survey” (hint: be sure to use the quotation marks)

This should pull up approximately 8 articles to read. (double click on the image to enlarge it.)
