What's Happening?
Wilton Library has added a Bloomberg Terminal workstation for public use, as announced in their December 17 newsletter. The terminal is located in the library's Computer Room on the first floor and can
be reserved in one-hour sessions. Patrons interested in using the terminal can book a time slot through the library's website or by contacting the Reference Desk. The addition of the Bloomberg Terminal was sponsored by ASML, providing library visitors access to a powerful financial tool typically used by professionals in the finance industry.
Why It's Important?
The introduction of a Bloomberg Terminal at Wilton Library is significant as it provides the public with access to a sophisticated financial tool that is usually available only to professionals in the finance sector. This initiative democratizes access to financial data and analytics, potentially benefiting students, researchers, and individuals interested in finance. It reflects a broader trend of libraries expanding their resources to include technology and tools that support education and professional development. By offering such resources, libraries can play a crucial role in community education and economic empowerment.
