The Thomson ONE database from Refinitiv (formerly Thomson-Reuters) will be permanently retired and go offline in early February. Projected retirement is January 31, but there may be a brief continuation for a few days in February.
Thomson ONE will be replaced by Refinitiv Workspace which will deliver much of the same content that is available in Thomson ONE. Until Refinitiv Workspace is available, users may use the following products as effective substitutes for data in Thomson ONE.
Investment Bank Analyst Reports – use Mergent Online and select the “Investext” tab at the far right.
If the above databases don’t contain the data you formerly found in Thomson ONE, please contact our reference librarians and we’ll connect you with other alternatives.
If Duke University declares that the Severe Weather Policy is in effect, Ford Library may need to close our library facility in Breeden Hall at the Fuqua School.
Regardless of the weather, our reference librarians and other staff can still support your research needs remotely (Mon.-Fri. 8am – 4:30pm) — assuming we have power in our homes!
The closure of our facility won’t affect your access to our online research databases, e-journals, or e-books. Those should remain accessible 24/7/365 barring technical issues at the provider sites. The links below will give you quick access to those resources.
If a faculty member lists a particular print resource for a course, there may be e-book or online audiobook versions available if you cannot access print while the Library is closed. The list below includes the online versions of some of those resources designated for Spring Term 1.
This final Director’s Blog of 2021 highlights the research of some of our Fuqua faculty to illustrate the academic strength that a diverse community can create and share to the benefit of management education and the world. Our only regret is that we can’t feature our entire faculty here due to space limitations!
Note that the links below will prompt you for your Duke Net ID and password in some cases. Fuqua faculty author names will appear in bold. Thanks for your attention this year, and best wishes for successful exams and a restful holiday season!
Two of our online journal publishers (Wiley, Taylor & Francis) have outsourced their DDoS protection to a 3rd party service (Cloudflare) and this is causing users who attempt to download PDFs of articles from these journals after following proxied links from a library web site to see an error message like the one below.
If you are on Duke’s campus, you can use the links below to access articles in journals from these publishers. If you are off-campus, please enable a Library Resources or Fuqua School of Business VPN session before following the links below to the publisher web sites.

Need Online Journal Access During the Maintenance Window?
Online journal access via publisher web sites, and via article search databases will be unaffected by this maintenance. You may search these sites and databases directly for journal articles by using the links below:
*The “GetIt@Duke” button within the databases above is part of the system undergoing maintenance and those buttons will not function properly during the maintenance window. If article full-text (as HTML or PDF) is not directly available within the databases, you may need to search for access via the publisher site.
Thanks for your patience while our vendor-partner performs this necessary maintenance.

Facebook Disables Access for NYU Research Into Political-Ad Targeting – The Library Director comments: If you’re doing data-driven research and need to build a research or article corpus, don’tdo it this way. The NYU Ad Observatory, launched last September by the university’s engineering school, recruited more than 6,500 volunteers to use a special browser extension to collect data about the political ads Facebook shows them. Soon after, Facebook, which hadn’t given permission for the project, demanded the researchers cease collecting the data.
This month’s Director’s blog shares Tips for Tech Success in Ford Library. When new students come to Fuqua, mastering basic technology tasks such as connecting to Fuqua networks, printing in the Library, and others can be a little overwhelming! We hope these tips will help.
Tech success starts with synchronizing Your Duke Net ID password.
Use your laptop or our stacks computer and browse to https://oit.duke.edu/selfservice, and login with your Duke Net ID (e.g. jdoe123) and password.
At the right of the Self Service home page, in the NET ID section, click on “+ Change your password”.
Enter your current password, and then create a new password that meets these guidelines in the appropriate boxes, and click “Submit”.
Why do I have to do this? – Your brand new Duke Net ID password allows you to login to computers on the Duke WIN network domain, but not computers on the FUQUA domain. Once you create and submit the new password, it will be “synced” across all Duke network domains in about 5 minutes, allowing you to login to any public computer at Fuqua.
This month’s Director’s blog features recent scholarship published by Fuqua faculty authors in online & print scholarly journals. Ford Library helps fund access for these journals for Duke and Fuqua. Fuqua authors’ names are in italics.
