When students think about library resources, databases such as Bloomberg, Workspace or Crunchbase often come to mind. However, IEU Library also provides access to a range of specialised resources that can support academic projects, research and informed decision-making.

Here are three powerful tools that deserve a place in your research toolkit.

Economist Intelligence

If your project involves analysing countries, industries or economic trends, Economist Intelligence offers in-depth reports and forecasts created by experts. From market outlooks to political and economic analysis, it provides valuable context that can help strengthen assignments, capstone projects and business plans.

Foreign Affairs

Looking for expert perspectives on global issues? Foreign Affairs is one of the world’s leading publications on international relations, geopolitics and public policy. Its articles are written by diplomats, policymakers, academics and industry leaders, making it an excellent source for understanding complex global challenges and emerging trends.

WRDS

For more advanced academic research, WRDS (Wharton Research Data Services) provides access to a wide range of research datasets and tools widely used in higher education institutions. Whether you are working on a dissertation, a faculty research project or a data-driven study, WRDS can help you explore and analyse information in greater depth.

These resources may not be as well known as some of the library’s most frequently used databases, but they can provide unique insights and high-quality information that go far beyond a standard web search.
