WRDS ( Wharton Research Data Services) is an aggregator platform that hosts Business data collections from a number of different providers. Until recently, there were some LSEG collections still listed in WRDS as belonging to Thomson Reuters, the previous provider.
In addition, there are a couple of LSEG collections subscribed by the Alberta School of Business that are licensed for all UofA students, faculty and staff, but for which we’d never created database assets.
Accordingly, we’ve made changes to some titles on the A-Z list to match what is displayed on the WRDS platform, and also created two new assets:
- Thomson Reuters Insiders Data is now: LSEG Insiders Data
- Thomson Reuters Institutional 13F Holdings is now: LSEG Institutional (13F) Holdings
- IBES is now: LSEG IBES Academic
- New: LSEG Mergent FISD
- New: LSEG Worldscope
All collections on the WRDS platform are accessed through the same link. After logging in with their CCID, users receive an email with a link for a one-day pass to WRDS, enabling them to access all of the collections subscribed by both the Library and the Alberta School of Business.
