Telfer International Business Live Case Challenge

Welcome to Library Resources for the Telfer International Business Live Case Challenge! 

On this page you will find a video with a refresher on how to access Library resources as well as specific instructions on how to use selected databases for your international market analysis during the case challenge.

Once the case challenge goes live, you will also see links to the top recommended Library databases, governmental and non-governmental websites, as well as direct links to relevant research reports. 

Note: The links to the resources will be hidden until this page goes live on Friday November 8th at 4:00 pm. If you are on campus, please use the secure wi-fi network "eduroam" (NOT uopublic) to access Library resources. 

Good luck!

Emily Da Silva, Research Librarian (Management)
