Bloomberg terminals

The Library now has two  terminals which access the large financial database known as Bloomberg.  They were surplus to requirements in the UC Trading Room located on the ground floor of the Business and Law Building.  The Bloomberg terminals are located on Level 2 just outside Room 210. They each a special colour coded keyboard.

Students can login into the PCs in the normal way and use their regular desktop applications. The Bloomberg icon will appear on their desktop and should they want to access Bloomberg the username and password is pasted above the screens (UCLIBRARY). They can subsequently create a personal Bloomberg login.  Bloomberg is a very complex resource and those who wish to use it should be referred to Janette.

Adjacent to these two machines is another PC that has Datastream access, another financial database.  Instructions for the use of Datastream, which has to be configured to each individual’s login are available here.
