Advertising Redbooks is now REDBOOKS

Advertising Redbooks, a directory of advertising agencies and other commercial firms, has recently been purchased by a new vendor. The database is now available on the Winmo platform through the REDBOOKS link on the Library's A-Z Database page. 

The new platform provides access to the same content, but with a new interface. Use the options under Advanced Search to find advertising agency information. The Creative section provides access to print and video advertisements.

REDBOOKS can be accessed via the Library's A-Z Database page. Access is available to all UM Ann Arbor Campus users.

Note: There are several parts of the Winmo platform that are not a part of the Library's subscription. Content access is limited to Advanced Search (Companies, Brands, Agencies, All Contacts) and Creative options only. All other content is not available.

D&B Hoovers Downloading is Not Working

D&B Hoovers is not currently allowing for downloads of records from company lists.  We are working with the vendor to try to resolve this issue.  You may currently retrieve OneStop reports for any company with D&B Hoovers.

In the interim, please use Mergent Intellect, Orbis or RefUSA as an alternative for downloading company information.
