PrivCo, Private Company Database, Now Available from Library

In a major development in the world of business research, PrivCo, a database with extensive information about over 30,000 major private companies, is now available, and UHD Library subscribes to it for you! UHD students, faculty, and staff have anywhere, anytime access by going to the Library A to Z Database listing for the letter "P."

Up till now, lengthy reports were only available on publicly held companies, which sell stock on exchanges. PrivCo changes all that.

As the site notes, "PrivCo is the premiere source for business and financial data on major, non-publicly traded corporations, including family owned, private equity owned, venture backed, and international unlisted companies." PrivCo does its own unique research that provides data which goes far beyond what has previously been available about privately owned companies.

So whether you're working on an assignment, a research paper, or a job interview, for a major private company, PrivCo's got you covered.

Back to Normal, well almost

The library's catalog is back up and running, if you experience problems, please let us know by calling the reference desk at 713-221-818.

Our new doors have been installed on the 5th floor as well, they are much more attractive than the temporary sheetrock doors were.  Come by and take a look.

Meanwhile the renovation of the 5th floor continues and is making progress.  We are looking forward to seeing the end results of this project and thank everyone for their patience.
