 Bloomberg Procedures

What is Bloomberg?

The Bloomberg Package is comprised of a laptop, a mouse (with USB wireless connecter), a Bloomberg keyboard, a laptop case, a charger lead, Bloomberg promotional literature & guides and a black carry case.

Bloomberg can be used to research all areas of commerce including but not limited to finance, economics, accounting, marketing, operations, ethics and government policy.

Who is it for?

MMU staff university wide: research and teaching aid

Student research: UG dissertation students and all PG & PhD students university wide.

How do I use it?

The Bloomberg terminal can be obtained from:

The Executive Support Team

Room 2.15 (2nd Floor) Business School [enter past reception then turn right]

To book out the Bloomberg terminal you will need to sign a receipt for the terminal and present your MMU ID card to evidence who you are.

The terminal can only be booked for 2 hour slots (subject to demand) on a first-come-first served basis.

The terminal must be signed in and out by the SAME member of staff or student, and not passed between people.

Whilst the terminal is in your custody you are responsible for appropriate usage and risk of damage

or theft.

The terminal can only be used on-site at the MMU Business School and must never be taken home or outside of the Business School. Any attempt to do so is a breach of our contractual agreement with Bloomberg for which you would bear personal responsibility.

The terminal is only available between 09:00-16:30 and must always be returned promptly by 16:00.
