1.  If you go to the website, www.hoovers.com you will be able to get some information from the site; however, at some point, it will ask you for your credit card # in order to obtain the information you want. 

2. If you go into Hoover’s Online through the library’s databases, the TCU library has already paid for a deeper level of information than what you can get through the Hoovers.com website. 

Who wins the smackdown?  TCU library, of course.  Same Hoovers site, but MORE information!
