Friends Donate to Library to purchase Online Value Line Investment Service!

Patrons now have access to the Value Line Investment Survey from the comfort of their home! This database is a unique source of financial information designed to help investors make informed investment decisions. It includes business descriptions, financial data, statistics, analysis, and evaluations of select companies and industries. The same 3,500 stocks that are included in the print versions of the Value Line Investment Survey - Standard Edition and the Value Line Investment Survey - Small & Mid-Cap Edition are covered in this database.

The Boca Raton Library has an exceptional collection of business and investment materials. Historically the most-used item in this collection has been the print version of the Value Line Investment Survey.

Richard Kuster, Reference Librarian, said, "Thanks to the Friends, Boca Library patrons now have access to the online version of Value Line as well as the print edition. Since the online version is constantly being updated, the financial data and analysis is much more current than that contained in the print version. Also, the online version is more accessible since it is available from your home to Boca Library card holders." He added, "The Reference Staff has been studying the unique features of this new database and we are eager to share this newly-acquired knowledge with the Library's patrons."

Anyone who would like to learn more about Value Line Online or any of the other reference materials, please stop by the Library's Reference Desk or call (561) 393-7906.
