Dear Goizueta alumni and friends,
I want to invite you to check out one of the latest services being offered to Goizueta alumni through the end of 2004–FACTIVA. This Dow Jones and Reuters Company search tool provides access to 8,000 publications in twenty-two languages; continuously updated newswires; major national and international newspapers including The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, and New York Times; magazines, trade journals and transcripts; more than 8,500 top business and news websites; and 3,000 pictures from Reuters and Knight Ridder. One of Factiva’s most popular features is the Company Quick Search, which provides detailed information on more than 20,000 publicly quoted companies in seventy-two countries.
Since we introduced Factiva in late 2003, many alumni have taken advantage of the offering. Have you? If not, please read what some of your fellow alumni have to say about Factiva and why you should check it out:

Snyder ’89BBA, vice president, Curtis Financial Group LLC
