Accounting Research Toolbox Surpasses 10,000 Views
BEL's Library Guide (aka Libguide) on accounting research resources hit a milestone this week: it has surpassed 10,000 views since its debut on July 24, 2009. It was created as a one stop research place for the Accountacy faculty and doctoral students.
The Accounting Research Toolbox is number one amongst all of the University Library's 421 guides. It has 10,045 views, which means accounting information is crucial to our scholars at Illinois.
Here's the link to the guide.
Also, do visit BEL's FiRST Guide (finance) and SMaRT guide (business administration) too!
