Ford Library

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.
• Company Financials and other company data – use ORBIS, FactSet, or S&P Capital IQ.

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.

• The Duke Libraries Catalog – use for e-books
• Selected Business Research Databases
• Other Duke Research Databases
• Selected Business Online Journals/Magazines/Newspapers
• All Duke Online Journals/Magazines/Newspapers

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.

• Game changer, – David McAdams
• Negotiation genius (e-book) (audiobook) – Malhotra & Bazerman
• Net positive – Polman & Winston
• Power (e-book) (audiobook) – Jeffrey Pfeffer
• Sports in America (e-book) (audiobook) – Michener & Berry

We encourage you to stay safe and sheltered, and please let us know if we can help with your research!
