To find articles on companies, use the EasyTrac subject guide search. It is better to search a short form of the name, for example Compaq rather than Compaq Computer Corporation, to find all the potential variations on the name. Figure 3 illustrates the compaq profile that is retrieved, plus the Link To options for this company. To go to a list of available investment reports, just click the appropriate Link To option. Not all firms offer all options, but the Articles option is almost always present.
Industry information is searchable several ways.
As an alternative, search for industries or products by subject or keyword. A search on a specific product can be done the same way. As the name implies, this method is used for more sophisticated searches. To use PowerTrac, click on the PowerTrac logo from the initial General BusinessFile search screen. Figure 4 shows the PowerTrac search screen.
