Research Insight, the financial software used by Michael Stutzer and some other professors in the Business School, has been installed on all the computers in 100B. It is gradually being installed on the computers in the Info Commons but isn't complete yet.
Students are being taught how to access and use the software, but in case they ask where it is, here are the steps for getting into it:
1. From the start menu, open Excel
2. Along the top row of the toolbar click on "Add-Ins"
3. A wide shaded workspace opens below the toolbar with "RI Web" identified in the first column
4. Enter the ticker symbol in the search box
5. Choose "Report" to get results; there is a lot of data so it can take 1-2 minutes to download
The students should know how to proceed from here. We have a set of manuals on Circ Reserve that are a few years old, but I've been told that the software probably hasn't changed much and could be checked out to students wanting more information.
