Trial access has been arranged to Bureau van Dijk’s Orbis and Zephyr databases. The trials end November 28th. The Database trials are available on or off campus through IP range and UI Libraries proxy service.
Orbis is a global dataset for public and private company information. It allows researchers to access financials, ownership structures, patents, board members, and more in one standardized resource.
Zephyr is the most comprehensive database of M&A, IPO, private equity, and venture capital deals. Not only are researchers able to track large public deals they are able to track private to private and cross border deals as well.
Please send comments/feedback about the databases to Kimberly-bloedel@uiowa.edu.
