The University at Buffalo Libraries is pleased to announce the addition of two new databases now available to UB faculty, students, and staff.
Uniworld unravels the maze of “who operates where” and “who owns whom” providing multinational companies worldwide locations, contact information, revenue and other datasets. Uniworld searches over 200 countries and 20,000 industries with accurate longitude and latitude coordinates for parent and subsidiary locations. For decades, Uniworld Business Publications, Inc. published two directories: American Firms Operating in Foreign Countries and Foreign Firms Operating in the United States (previously held at Lockwood Library). This database is a modern continuation of these publications.

Mergent Market Atlas provides access to a multitude of company, industry, country, index, ESG and economic data analysis tools and reports. The platform allows users to search for public companies based on name, location, industry or fundamental data factors. Additional company search facilities allows users to explore sustainability, SEC filings, annual reports, independent research, and an extensive library of company reports. Mergent Market Atlas will replace Mergent Online, which will sunset in June 2025.

History of Disabilities: Disabilities in Society, 17th to 20th Century provides historical evidence demonstrating how society has interacted with and regarded individuals considered to have disabilities. Disability is a definition imposed by society on people who may or may not agree to being characterized that way. It should also be noted that not all disabilities are visible. According to the World Health Organization, disability is part of being human. Almost everyone will temporarily or permanently experience disability at some point in their life. Disability results from the interaction between individuals with a health condition, such as cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, or depression, with personal and environmental factors including negative attitudes, inaccessible transportation and public buildings, and limited social support.
