Financial literacy is our awareness and understanding of financial concepts for the purpose of better managing our money. One of Ridgefield Library’s goals for the New Year is to promote financial literacy in our community.
We’d like the Ridgefield Library website www.ridgefieldlibrary.org to be
your starting point for trusted online financial information. Click on Research & Reference and
navigate to the Business & Finance webpage.
Databases to access include Reference
USA which is a database of public and private companies. You may search by company name, industry or location
(try searching by zip code: 06877). Business Insights: Essentials is our comprehensive business research database
for business and industry news, company financials, investment reports,
rankings, market share data, product information and court cases. Value Line
Investment Survey provides respected research on companies, stocks, funds
and more. Look for our recommended websites
from government, educational and nonprofit organizations along with many respected
commercial sites including Yahoo! Finance and Investopedia.
Throughout the year we will be adding new information and resources. We also have plenty of the best financial
books and magazines. Let’s work together
to become more financially knowledgeable.
Sounds like a New Year’s resolution!
