At the Marshall Library we have two Live Financial Data Terminals available for staff and students in Economics and Development Studies: Bloomberg and EIKON.
Bloomberg
Bloomberg is a computer software system that enables professionals in the financial service sector to access Bloomberg Professional Services through which users can monitor and analyze real-time global financial market data. It also provides excellent news feeds. If you would like to book a session using our Bloomberg terminal please fill out our online from on the Marshall Library website:
We will email a confirmation. Please come to the front doors of the Marshall Library and telephone us on 01223 335217. A member of Library staff will come down to let you in and escort you to the terminal.

1. Wear a face mask at all times inside the Marshall Library

EIKON
Like the Bloomberg Terminal, Eikon is a software system used to monitor and analyze financial information. Eikon provides financial professionals with access to market data, analytics, and messaging tools. Information can also be exported to Microsoft Excel for continued data analysis.
During the Covid-19 restrictions we are making access to our terminal remote access only. To access the Marshall Library EIKON licence please email
