Databases
While USF Poly does not have a law school, it is sometimes necessary to perform legal research. It can be a complex field though but thankfully, there are resources to help.
The USFP Library has some books, like classic Wren and Wren’s The Legal Research Manual: A Game Plan for Legal Research and Analysis and e-book Legal research how to find & understand the law by Elias and Levinkind.
We also have access to the Lexis-Nexis Academic Universe and Westlaw Campus databases (don’t forget to go through Blackboard to authenticate first.)
Finally, there are excellent free sources of information on the Web:
The USF Libraries catalog is now available on your hand-held device or smart phone.
Use this link on your device: http://catalog.fcla.edu/. It will take to a common catalog of all the libraries in the Florida university system. You can search all the catalogs or specify USF. The search box works the same way as the basic search functions in the regular catalog. You can check your account and renew your books too!
Network issues are currently affecting use of e-book collection NetLibrary. NetLibrary is aware and working on correcting the problem. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Four significant online resources with a Business focus have recently been added to the online collection of the USF Libraries. For each title, access is now online only. Funding for these resources comes in part from USF Sarasota-Manatee.
International Directory of Company Histories
The International Directory of Company Histories provides detailed information on the development of any of the world’s 4,550 largest and most influential companies. Entries provide information on founders, expansions and losses, labor/management actions, NAIC codes, key dates, ticker symbol, principal subsidiaries, principal divisions, principal operating units, principle competitors and other significant milestones – complete with statistics, dates and names of key players. Vols. 1-6 are organized alphabetically by major industries; Vol. 7 and subsequent volumes are arranged alphabetically by company name within each volume. Each volume includes a cumulative index to companies and personal names. Vol. 7 and subsequent volumes include a cumulative index to industries. Starting with Volume 37 a geographical index to companies sorted by country of head office. USF purchased the online volumes from v.1- v.58 and then v. 105 to the present.
Ward’s Business Directory of U.S. Private and Public Companies
This resource provides current company and industry profiles for over 100,000 U.S. companies, 90 percent of which are private. The database can be searched by company name, ticker symbol, zip code, city or state, SIC or NAICS codes, assets, employee count, officers, and other variables. Results can be sorted by financial data, geography, employees, etc. Ward’s Business Directory is part of the Gale Directory Library. It may be searched as a single source or in a cross-search with other directories.
Market Share Reporter
Part of Gale’s Directory Library collection, the publication provides comparative business statistics (arranged by 4-digit SIC code) for companies, products and services. With over 3,600 individual entries, queries can be built using descriptors such as: NAICS code, subject heading, and title. All entries also include source information. Search results can be displayed by title, publication date, and geography. Saved searches can be downloaded in HTML format.
SRDS Media Solutions
SRDS Online provides access to electronic versions of the following SRDS print publications:
- Business Media Advertising: Provides comprehensive, multi-platform planning information on domestic and healthcare trade media. Media are classified into more than 190 markets, with more than 30,000 updates every year.

- Local Market Audience has a market profile section that characterizes demographic and lifestyle proclivities of Designated Market Areas (DMA) and counties; a lifestyle analyst section that cross tabulates interests and behaviors, ranking them within DMAs; and demographic reports that illuminate interests and behaviors with reference to age, income, marital status and life stages.

Last fiscal year, the USF Libraries moved from print to online only with the purchase of all ebook titles published in 2008 and 2009 by Palgrave McMillan with access through Palgrave Connect. This year the 2010 collection expands with three new collections—Education, Media and Culture, and Theatre and Performance.
Palgrave Connect is a medium sized collection of ebooks with approximately 925 titles in the 2008 and 2009 collections. The 2010 collection will add about 1000 new titles. In addition to the three new subject collections, this ebook collection offers access to diverse scholarly, professional and popular titles in: Business & Management, Economics & Finance, History, Language & Linguistics, Literature & Performing Arts, Political & International Studies, Religion & Philosophy, and Social & Cultural Studies.
The breakdown, by collection and number of titles, for the 2010 collection is:
Business & Management Collection 2010: 127
Economics & Finance Collection 2010: 104
History Collection 2010: 133
Language & Linguistics Collection 2010: 34
Literature Collection 2010: 147

Grand Total: 1012
With the Palgrave Connect content there is unlimited simultaneous access. Full text content is available in PDF format and is fully searchable. Printing is set at one chapter at a time. Ebook content can also be copied, pasted, and saved and can be accessed via ebook readers, such as Sony Readers. Hypertext links to ebook content can be created in Blackboard. This resource can support both undergraduate curriculum and graduate research.
You can search the titles in the catalog or in MetaLib (key in Palgrave Connect).
There are a lot of places that you visit during the day, including the USFP Library. What if you used your mobile phone to record all those places? And then were given points for them? Would that be a fun game? That’s exactly what the web game foursquare is about!
Play along with your fellow students to see what places are of interest, called venues, in the Central Florida area and check in. When you’ll visit the Library venue, you’ll see that we are starting to put together a list of things to do while here. You can add some yourself too.
The more you check in, the more points you get. Check in enough times and become mayor of that location. Who will be the first Mayor of the USFP Library?
The USF Poly Library has now on reserves three easy to use digital video cameras. Check out period is 3 days. We also have tripods if needed. Ask for them at the front desk.
We have free books for the taking in the Group Study area, in boxes near the New Books shelves. You are welcome to take as many as you wish. Topics range from education, criminal justice and psychology to nursing.
These books, coming from donations processed recently, are not needed for the Library’s collections. Keep a eye out, more titles will be available in the coming days.
