Suggestion:
Business students would benefit greatly from access to PrivCo! They offer trial periods for universities. I am needing financials for a private company for a project right now and sure wish I could use this database.

Response:

Thank you for contacting us through our Library Suggestion Box. We like to hear from our students.
Your comment was that you would like to have access to PrivCo to help you with your project. The Libraries would need to find out what a site license would cost, since we cannot have single-user or password only access. The fee is usually much higher for this license.

I suggest that you talk with your faculty members about this database. If they feel that the Library needs to acquire it, they can let us know through their Library Liaison and we will move forward from there. If not, I invite you to make an appointment with Stephany Compton, our librarian who specializes in business resources. She may be able to help you find the information that you need in some of our other databases. Her contact information is scompton@twu.edu

Thank you for your suggestion. We appreciate your taking the time to let us know.
