Visit from the Bloomberg Rep

Harry and I met with Baruch's Bloomberg rep yesterday afternoon. In addition to changing some of the "look" of the Bloomberg terminal with more tabs, an auto complete search feature and more sophisticated charting, Bloomberg has added several new content areas. Bloomberg added pages for Law (BLAW) that feature litigation summaries for companies; pages for Pharmaceuticals (BDRUG) that feature information on company patents and clinical trials; and pages on Real Estate (BRE) that include property and tenant profiles and a search of commercial property. They have also built a page on the Worldwide Credit Crunch (WWCC). The rep promoted the Bloomberg Career Center(JOBS) and encouraged students to post their resumes there.
