Like Datastream, it is only available to postgraduates and staff, and can be booked using the Room Bookings software.

Bloomberg's advantage to our students is that it is a professional analytics tool currently used by bond market analysts and as such gives them experience in a tool many will need to use once they graduate. It gives a wide array of information about the bond market, mergers, acquisitions and more. It gives minute by minute analysis of stock market equities through the day.
You can look up individual equities, get analysts' reports, SWOT analysis for commodities and country statistics. Bloomberg also has its own news service students can access through the database.
There is a HELP key on the keyboard that with one click will tell you what you are currently looking at. Two clicks and you are connected to a 24 hour immediate support facility run by Bloomberg. The coloured keys at the top of the Bloomberg keyboard (kept at Service Zone 3) are short cuts to various functions.
