What's Happening?
Wilton Library has added a Bloomberg Terminal to its resources, making it available for public use. This addition, sponsored by ASML, is located in the library's Computer Room on the first floor. Patrons can book the terminal in one-hour sessions through
the library's website or by contacting the Reference Desk. The Bloomberg Terminal is a powerful tool for financial professionals, providing access to real-time data, news, and analytics. This initiative aims to enhance the library's offerings by providing patrons with access to high-level financial information and tools typically used by industry professionals.
Why It's Important?
The introduction of a Bloomberg Terminal at Wilton Library is significant as it democratizes access to advanced financial tools and data. Typically, Bloomberg Terminals are used by financial professionals in corporate settings due to their high cost and complexity. By making this resource available to the public, the library is providing an opportunity for individuals, including students, researchers, and small business owners, to access valuable financial information. This can lead to better-informed financial decisions and potentially foster local economic growth by empowering users with the same tools used by Wall Street professionals.
