This is a brief guide intended to highlight different resources available to Hostos students. The major characteristics of the materials included are three-fold. First, there is a good amount of material here that supports the Accounting program of Hostos. Second, there are resources that focus on Information Technology to support Business Administration, E-Commerce and Microcomputers for Business programs. Third, the primary content of this guide include electronic resources; however, there are some print materials cited within this guide, primarily reference tools and new acquisitions. All of materials were collated, evaluated and selected for purchase with the coursework of the Business program in mind. The vast majority of the materials are what can be considered authoritative.

Below you will find a variety of different internet links that come from both public and private sources. They are all free materials. You should take the time to read through all of the annotations of these web sites to see if any of them will help you in your business research.
This is the site for the United States Census. There is a plethora of information that is relevant to business to be found in the census files. Many tend to think of the Census as simply the decennial count of the amount of people in the country. The Census is infinitely more complex than a simple count. Firstly, there are 2 censuses. There is the Economic Census, which profiles the US economy every 5 years, from the national to the local level. For business information the Economic Census is an excellent tool to find current information regarding number of businesses in certain geographic regions, type, and so on. The decennial census is, at heart, a simple count of the amount of people in our country (which, incidentally, is a little over 281 million). The census does take highly detailed information not only about the people in this country but creates reports about geographic vicinities and the socio-economic status of communities on both a macro and micro level.
American Factfinder is the essential portal of the decennial census. It covers the socio-economic information of the census and also has a feature where one can put in an address and recover reports regarding that particular area. If, for example, you wanted to know the amount of people who are Spanish speaking only in your neighborhood, you can retrieve that type of information using American Factfinder. This is excellent when attempting to do market research and planning for particular neighborhoods.
The About.Com Industry and Business guide is less of a guide and more of a current, general news events page for business.
Below you will find a number of different accrediting agencies in the field of accountancy. If you interested in pursuing a career in accountancy in some capacity many professional organization usually have internship programs, hot job postings and/or other types of support networks and materials for future professionals in the field.
The Accreditation Council for Accountancy and Taxation (ACAT) was established in 1973 as a non-profit independent testing, accrediting and monitoring organization. The Council accredits independent practitioners who specialize in providing financial, accounting and taxation services to individuals and small to mid-size businesses. Professionals receive accreditation through examination and/or coursework and maintain accreditation through commitment to continuing professional education, adherence to the Council's Code of Ethics and Rules of Professional Conduct, and paying of annual renewal fees. ACAT is affiliated with the National Society of Accountants headquartered in Alexandria, VA.
The National Society of Accountants, or NSA, and its affiliates represent more than 30,000 independent practitioners who provide accounting, tax, auditing, financial and estate planning, and management services to 19 million individuals and businesses. Most members are sole practitioners or partners in small- to medium-size accounting firms. NSA protects its members' right to practice and protects the public by requiring its members to adhere to a strict Code of Ethics.
The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants is the national, professional organization for all Certified Public Accountants. Its mission is to provide members with the resources, information, and leadership that enable them to provide valuable services in the highest professional manner to benefit the public as well as employers and clients.
This is basically the premier organization for CPAs.
The Association of Chartered Accountants in the United States ("ACAUS") represents the interests of over 5,000 US based chartered accountants. We are a nonprofit professional and educational organization dedicated exclusively to the interests of Chartered Accountants in the U.S. Founded in 1980, ACAUS is comprised of U.S.-based Chartered Accountants ("CA") from the home institutes of Chartered Accountants in Australia, Canada, England & Wales, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland and South Africa.

This site is a simple accounting glossary when you simply want the definition of a term you do not understand.
This, contrary to the link listed above, is a wee-bit more complicated VentureLine Accounting Glossary. This is a lot more in-depth than the previously listed link. It never hurts when attempting to clarify a term to cross-reference a variety of sources in the field, be it business, accountancy, e-commerce or whatever intellectual interests it is that one has to tackle.
This is an Accounting Research Guide by the University of Florida Libraries. The Business Librarian, Peter Z. McKay, links to several sources that are privately held by the University of Florida, but much of the material he quotes we either have in print on location or in the CUNY system or as an electronic resource. Nonetheless, the format which McKay presents is wholesale applicable to any type of student accountancy research. If you simply want a model to start of your research, this guide may be well worth the effort reading through.
If you have an assignment or simply need to do some company research that involves looking through annual reports, you may want to check to see if the company that you investigating has its annual report on ANNUALREPORTS.COM.
If you are interested in small business information, then you may want to utilize the collected resources provided by BEOnline, or Business and Economics Online provided by the Library of Congress. Also of particular interest to the serious business student is the Business and Economics Internet Subject Guide of the Library of Congress.
This is an interesting site full of various benchmark statistics and financial ratios in business. BizStats is a good source for solid industry and small business information.

The Edgar-Online Annual Reports is a database of annual reports for publicly held and reporting companies that is sponsored by EDGARonline, the same company that controls reporting of all SEC filings.
EH.Net Encyclopedia of Economic and Business History is designed to provide students and laymen with high quality reference articles in the field. Articles for the Online Encyclopedia are written by experts, screened by a group of authorities, and carefully edited. An Advisory Board recommends entry topics, assists in the selection of authors, and defines the project's scope.
The FDIC, or The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, preserves and promotes public confidence in the U.S. financial system by insuring deposits in banks and thrift institutions for up to $100,000; by identifying, monitoring and addressing risks to the deposit insurance funds; and by limiting the effect on the economy and the financial system when a bank or thrift institution fails.
The Federal Reserve Board, also known as the “Fed”, is the central bank of the United States, was founded by Congress in 1913 to provide the nation with a safer, more flexible, and more stable monetary and financial system. Today the Federal Reserve's duties fall into four general areas: (1) conducting the nation's monetary policy; (2) supervising and regulating banking institutions and protecting the credit rights of consumers; (3) maintaining the stability of the financial system; and (4) providing certain financial services to the U.S. government, the public, financial institutions, and foreign official institutions.
The Librarian’s Index to the Internet’s “Finance, Business and Jobs” guide is an excellent source in regards to all that relates to business and accountancy.
