Begin searching in the PG Library database ABI/INFORM Collection. Keep in mind it's unlikey all the information will be available in just one source.

  • In the database, type the keywords financial market operations
  • On the left of the search results page is where you can use the limiters to narrow your results (source, publication date, etc.). 
  • Another keyword search to try is financial markets role "economic growth" (be sure to use the quotation marks as shown; they tell the database to look for the words together).
  • One more keyword search try is types of financial institutions

Gale eBooks is another database has quite a few reference books that could be helpful.

Searching the key terms financial institutions returns several useful reference entries. 


Any of these suggestions can also be searched on the Library homepage

Search suggestions include: 

investment banks

financial markets "economic growth"

Hint: Subject headings can be found below the article information.  This is a great place to look for other words to use as keywords. See the example below:

subject headings

 
Below are subject headings from the article above:
  • investment banking
  • wealth mangement sevices
  • corporate banking
