FAME to Live Forever



Recent survey of business librarians (stay awake at the back there) has found FAME ( Financial Analysis Made Easy ) to be their favourite database. I had always considered it to be mainly of use to Accounting and Finance students. Obviously the remit is much wider. Great, for example, to use it to track HMV's fortunes....

PIE Charts on FAME





If your project involves comparing the top companies in a particular sector you might wish to show this using a PIE Chart.

Depicted here are UK airline companies for example ( by profit ).

Get in touch if you want me to show you how to use FAME in this way alan.bullimore@beds.ac.uk

I am doing sessions for accounting students on this database in April.
