Meet Jacqueline Leskovec, Network Librarian for the National Network of Libraries of Medicine’s Greater Midwest Regional Office.
Jacqueline Leskovec, MLIS, MA, RN has been with the National Network of Libraries of Medicine since 2005. Her roles at the former office in Chicago evolved from Outreach and Communications Coordinator, Outreach and Evaluation Coordinator, and Outreach, Planning, and Evaluation Coordinator during that time.
Prior to her work at the Greater… Midwest Region, Jacqueline was on the faculty at the University of South Florida Area Health Education Center program, providing outreach services over a nine-county region. She was branch manager at the Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center in Chicago, IL. Before her foray into health sciences librarianship, Jacqueline worked for almost twenty years as a nurse.
In her new role, Jacqueline will enhance network membership by building upon current connections and creating new partnerships throughout the Greater Midwest Region and nationally.
Jacqueline will be working from her home office in Chicago and traveling to the office in Iowa City once monthly for staff meetings.
Each week we will highlight one of the many databases we have here at the Pomerantz Business Library.
The database: Global Financial Data (GFD)
Global Financial Data is a collection of current and historical financial and economic data for over 200 countries, provided in ASCII or Excel format.
Where to find it: You can find it here, and under “G” on Databases A to Z page. Note: Users must authenticate with their HawkID and then log in to GFD.
Use it to find:
Tips for searching:
To browse data series available on particular subjects, users can set several parameters, for example country (Bulgaria) and series type (Exports and Imports), and leave the search box empty. This will generate a list of data sources that meet both parameters. Select “GFDatabase + Eurostat” option to get the broadest list of available data.
Downloading Data:
This video from the vendor provides a good overview of the AutoTrac/Workbook functions.
Graphs:
GFD offers built-in graphing features that allow users to generate and customize visual representations of the data found within GFD.
Graphs generated in GFD can be saved to Workbooks or they can be exported in a number of formats (Bitmap, Jpeg, PNG).
