Chattanooga-Hamilton County Bicentennial Library

The Business Page

Our library subscribes to two special databases for business research. They are Gale General Business Research and Ebsco Business Source Premier. When you use the Business Page Search in the box to your left, you will be gathering full-text articles from these two periodicals databases in addition to books in the library catalog. Here are some other resources that our patrons find useful:
