New and improved FAME - have you tried FAME beta?

FAME is a business database that provides access to financial information (P&L, Balance Sheet, ratios, etc.) for British and Irish companies.
Some of you are already enthusiastic users of FAME beta, a new, more user-friendly interface to help users to more easily access the full range of data available in "old" FAME.
Until now, FAME beta was only accessible from within DIT's network, by choosing to try the new beta version of FAME from the Expert Search page within FAME.

Now you can also access FAME beta from outside DIT - just go to http://fame2.bvdep.com/athens.aspx and enter your Athens username and password.
If you don't already have an Athens username and password you'll need to create one while within DIT's network. Contact the library (402-3068) for details on how to do that.
FAME and FAME beta will be run in parallel for the rest of the year.
