The basic arrangement of this guide follows broad topics for your projects, especially topics in International Business IB401 classes, including:
Each topic page contains recommended library databases and organizational websites pertaining to it. Keep in mind these are not the only sources that might help with your research. When tackling a project, remember to always consult your professor's syllabus to see what kind of information should be included!
In addition, there is a separate page for Passport (GMID) which is the primary library database for international business research. On that page there will be information about the content and also links to the user guide and video tutorials.
