In Library 204, you will be researching articles on organization and management. One of the topics of interest will be “strategic planning.” and another might be “scenario planning.” Library Lit is also a good database to search on these topics. However, for this search we’ll use ABI/INFORM Global, a business and economics database from Proquest.

As with most full-text databases, ABI/Inform does not provide full text for all articles. However, SJSU Library has customized its databases using SFX. SFX is a link server which allows the library to link to the full text in other databases also owned by SJSU. Look for the “Get Text” icon when you have an abstract or citation for an article for which you would like to locate the full text.

Let’s try a search. Click Next to begin searching. ABI/INFORM will load in the right frame on the next screen, with directions for searching in the left. If you are accessing this database remotely, you will be asked to enter your SJPL barcode or SJSU ID and Pin number before being able to use the database.
