DECISION TO SUBSCRIBE
This is a brand-new product which consolidates into one database all of the numerous publications from SAGE which address research methods and design. This could become an essential tool for the many methods courses MSU offers in the social and behavioral sciences. If you teach a methods course the library particularly wants your comments.

This would be an excellent resource to have at MSU, especially considering the new doctoral program in education has begun. Also, the EPSB mandated that masters students in education conduct an actual research project as a capstone before finishing the program and this database could be used as a refresher for students in the capstone process. I teach masters level research methods and I would use this database with my students in those courses. It can assist students' understanding of both qualitative and quantitative research.
ACCESSIBLE FOR THE NEXT YEAR
Mergent (previously known as Moody's) is a business database which the library cancelled two years ago. Since then they have added a significant amount of new content and are asking for a second chance. So the library is interested in how the new and improved Mergent compares with the two other comparable business databases to which we currently subscribe (Hoover's and Standard & Poor's).

Value Line combined with the Yahoo finance provides almost all these details for the general investor; but may not fit what the business professor needs.
If allowed, I would have chosen both "encourage students to use" AND "use this myself," but the survey form only allows one selection. Thanks.
