Bloomberg L.P. is a financial news service that provides financial news and data to companies and organizations in virtually every country in the world. Business professionals can monitor and analyze real-time financial market data, as well as place trades and review historical trading data.

Bloomberg has data on more than 5 million bonds, equities, commodities, currencies & funds. It covers most every publicly traded company in the world, and has profiles on more than a million people.

Bloomberg Professional software is often referred to as the Bloomberg terminal because originally Bloomberg only provided their software with the hardware components.

There is one Bloomberg terminal located in Springs Business Library, and it is available on a first come, first served basis.

USC students working on assignments that require Bloomberg use have priority.
