Profiles of 193 UN-recognized countries, metrics from the World Bank, reports from the Economist Intelligence Unit, and Dun & Bradstreet provide the basis for the in-depth research individuals and companies need. The financials are very robust for included companies. Take a look at the Companies tab. Financial reports are available for over 2,500 companies. Select (or search) a company and the display offers Fundamentals Analysis - income statement, balance sheet, cash flow, and ratios; and Financials Dashboard - markets, stocks, funds, and sectors. Additionally, the Fundamentals Analysis offers 3 options for the selected company. Compare it with prior periods, to major competitors, and to specific companies as well as specify the reporting basis and time period.

better explanation of mileage information request
by Lisa Waskin 06 Nov '15

06 Nov '15

I should have explained the details better in my request. We are a district, trustees are appointed, not elected. The Superior District Library covers almost the entire Eastern Upper Peninsula, from Drummond Island in the east to Curtis in the west, Sault Ste. Marie to the north and Cedarville to the south. We have eight libraries throughout the district. We meet at all eight locations throughout the year. Some trustees are traveling up to three hours per meeting. We are only interested in mileage, not attendance reimbursement. The District Library Establishment Act only discusses getting paid for attending. I hope that is a better description of what we are looking for to come up with a fair plan for the board members expenses regarding traveling to meetings. Thank you, Lisa Lisa Poignant Waskin Director Superior District Library 541 Library Drive Sault Sainte Marie, MI 49783 906.632.9331 v 906.635.0210 f lisaw(a)uproc.lib.mi.us http://joomla.uproc.lib.mi.us/SDL/

Study Help
by Cathleen A Russ 06 Nov '15

06 Nov '15

"Hi all! Please excuse cross-postings! I wrote this survey as a result of the IMLS Focus 2015: The National Digital Platform in April. The discussion centered around whether Library, Information Science, Archival and Museum (LAM) programs were adequately preparing students for the workplace. I have created a survey of employers to better examine this question. This can definitely lead to further research but I wanted to move the discussion along. If you can please forward this widely to any list that you participate on in the field, that would be great. Any one who hires graduates of LAM would be a candidate to take the survey. I promise that it is quick (less than 10 minutes) and you do not have to research any statistics from your institution. If you hire, you will know the answers to the questions. The survey is due December 3, 2015 Please contact me with any questions. I plan to share the information but it depends on you to respond. I need some significant numbers here in order to see the trends. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/R2YWGRX Best, Kim Schroeder Coordinator, Archival Program Lecturer and Career Advisor Wayne State University School of Library and Information Science Faculty Advisor for National Digital Stewardship Alliance http://wsustudentndsa.wordpress.com/ @archivekim ag1797(a)wayne.edu<mailto:ag1797@wayne.edu> [https://outlook.office.com/owa/?realm=wayne.edu#path=/mail/inbox]313 577-9783 Career Advising Page http://students.slis.wayne.edu/students/planning.php"<http://students.slis.wayne.edu/students/planning.php> Best, Kim Schroeder Coordinator, Archival Program Lecturer and Career Advisor Wayne State University School of Library and Information Science Faculty Advisor for National Digital Stewardship Alliance http://wsustudentndsa.wordpress.com/ @archivekim ag1797(a)wayne.edu<mailto:ag1797@wayne.edu> 313 577-9783 Career Advising Page http://students.slis.wayne.edu/students/planning.php
