So I get the last couple years of articles. Then as you're going down here, you'll see we have articles. Sometimes you'll have reports. And then we also get the SWOT analysis SWOT analysis is stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats and it's a good way to getting an understanding of the evaluation and analysis for a company and how well they're doing. I'm going to click on the top article. The first thing that you'll see is information about the article as well as the abstract. The abstract is a great summary to read first before you actually download the article to see if it's something that's going to fit your needs. When you already download the article it's here on the left hand side as the PDF will text. And then on the right hand side are a series of tools. You can email the article to yourself for later.

Sometimes when you're doing search here to find that you're going to have to scroll down through a longer list of results to find what you need. Because I was doing this search earlier today. I found like the sixth option 10 things to consider before buying the franchise seem to fit better in terms of what I'm looking for. And then I can once again click on the article and access the PDF. So that's how you find use business source ultimate to find articles. Now if you're looking for additional company information you can click on this tab here.

Here my list of results it's going to be near the top and so we have General Motors company. We click on the link and we're going to get a report from a company called Hoover's. So as we scroll down on this looking at the table of contents we get some key information. Information about the people who work at the company, some financials and who are the competitors. So it's a great start to get a good some background information on your company. And then once you get that background information if you want to find some additional statistics about how well the company is doing. We can look at statistic. Then a click on statistic. And once again search for my company. You'll see here we have a number of results. I'm going to click on the second one that says statistics and facts about dinner motors.

We have an overview. More information about their financials. Their competitors. And we have a special focus on the US market. Let's say for example we want to look at the revenue for the last few years. When I click on that link here you can see that we have the revenue for General Motors over the years. You can download this information. And then if you're going to be using this information in a report. You can also cite it using the citation formats where you click on few options. And here you'll have the API citation. It's a really great tool for finding information about companies, but also anytime you're thinking about finding any type of statistic.

Now I mentioned that some of the resources have quick tools for learning how to cite your sources. In the next slide we also have this citing using APA 7th edition. And it's going to guide you into how to cite your various sources of information. And then for some of the business resources, APA doesn't do a good job in explaining how to cite them. And so what we did it was put together a guide that shows you how to cite various sources using APA type of format for things like the census, a company website. And last, but these are some other databases that you might use in some of your future classes. And then once again, if you have trouble with citing any of your resources, feel free to contact me.
