How to Use This Page

  • Start by reading the first two sections, Chile: Overview and Chile: Articles & News
    • This information is relevant to all students working within Chile.
  • Research your specific company.
    • Companies are bolded at the top of each section. 
    • Either scroll OR click on the company in the navigation bar to the left.

Key Considerations:

  • Business databases are bolded and left-aligned.
    • Links bring you to the UBC library's page for the database, where you can connect to the resource.
  • Information sources (e.g. articles, ebooks) are bullet points under the business databases.
    • Some sources are linked, and you can go directly to them.
    • If a source does not have a link, you should go to the relevant business database and search for the title.
    • For example, articles and data sets in Passport GMID cannot be directly linked. To access them, connect to Passport GMID, then search for "Consumer Types in Chile" (if this is the article you are interested in).
  • Article databases (such as ABI/Inform, Business Source Ultimate) include queries directly underneath in italics.
    • Re-run the query in the database to find the articles we listed and more.
    • Other navigation guidance is also typed in italics directly underneath the relevant database.
