College Research Databases

The UTSA Carlos Alvarez College of Business, in collaboration with the UTSA Library and the VREDKE Office, purchases subscriptions for databases for annual and limited use to benefit the research of faculty members and students (primarily those pursuing a Ph.D. degree). We utilize a rotational subscription model with the objective of sustaining our upward research-trajectory and impact, while being mindful of the scarce resources.

Below is a listing of database we currently subscribe to, the dates these subscription expire and whether the subscription is active or suspended. If you have general questions about databases, you can follow the link for each to obtain details or contact the person listed as the contact person.  Most of these databases are accessed through the WRDS portal.  If you do not have access to the WRDS portal, you can request access using the “Register” link (once in the WRDS portal login site).

If you’d like to request access to a database that we do not currently support, please contact Juan Manuel Sanchez, associate dean of graduate studies and research.
