Mr. Rajiv Johal, B.Com, BA, MLIS

I am a business librarian with subject expertise in Finance and Economics.  I am responsible for collection development, providing instructional sessions, assisting patrons with their research needs, and teaching students how to use specialized business databases.  I have extensive knowledge of financial and economic databases including Thomson ONE, Datastream, Bloomberg, Mergent, S&P Capital IQ and using datasets from IMF, CFMRC TSX, CRSP and Compustat via WRDS.

I also teach the Business Information course within the School of Information Studies at McGill. This course serves as an introductory course that surveys the literature used in business. Students examine key publications and databases, and learn to do reference work in the field. 

My areas of research include financial information literacy, as well as the use of social media in libraries and business research.
