Introduction

Bloomberg – or the “Bloomberg Terminal” is the financial industry standard tool for financial market analysis.  In short, the Bloomberg terminal provides data for virtually all financial markets world wide. https://www.bloomberg.com/professional/solution/bloomberg-terminal/

Data is distributed via the terminal.  Users must have a personal login – free to obtain directly from the terminal – to access the data.  NC State licenses 12 terminals across campus for use for faculty and students.  

The terminals cannot be accessed remotely.  You must be sitting at the physical terminal to get access.

How to create a login

Logins must be created at the terminal. You’ll need a unity ID to login into the windows computer. Then follow these instructions. https://data.bloomberglp.com/professional/sites/10/How-to-Create-a-Terminal-Login.pdf
