Business Research Library Resource List

"Library Resource List"
OSU and Area Library
Business Research and RBBI Reference Materials

15 April 1998
This list gives the OSU (Oklahoma State University Library) call numbers. Current Periodicals are in the periodical areas filed alphabetically (Engineering and Science on first floor east and Business and Management on second floor west.) The older periodicals (bound) are in the stacks by call number.

This listing provides SIC codes for industries related to the boat building industry and Harmonize Import Codes for use in government reports to classify imports and exports. Some patent classification codes are also provided. A list of CD ROM databases (most are available at OSU) is also provided.

OSU's online card catalog is available on the internet.

OSU refers to the Oklahoma State University Library. OU to the main library at the University of Oklahoma (Norman). The list concludes with a list of area libraries, a brief description of their collections, and their phone numbers.

This posting is from a word processing document. It did not convert "neatly", but I think it can still be of great benefit. Sorry about the all CAPS.

You can use the titles of the references to find them in a major library near you. Many major libraries now have their library catalog on the internet. Many periodicals also have a presence on the internet. Some services provide table of contents or abstracts online. MCB provides that service for many European Journals. Elsevier Science provides a similar system called Science Direct.

You can use Netscape's FIND feature to search this document for a topic. Other browsers have similar features.
