| Where to use DATASTREAM |
|---|
| To access Datastream on the Princeton University campus you must use specific computers that have the proprietary Datastream software installed, and are authorized to access the Datastream network. Available on the workstations located near Firestone A-13-J and in Stokes Library through LSEG Workspace. The modules for commodities, economics, equities, and futures are also available through WRDS. However, WRDS does not have all indicators and is very weak for economics. |
