Can I access Wharton Research Data Services (WRDS) through the Business Library?
Current UC Berkeley students, staff, or faculty members with active library privileges are eligible to request an account. You will need to apply for set up an account with your berkeley.edu email, which then needs to be reviewed by library staff, so please allow 7 business days for your account to be activated and approved. You may be asked to share your academic research needs prior to approval, this resource is only for academic research and coursework.
You can start the process here.
Summer access is automatically disabled for master's level and undergraduate students, unless you are enrolled in a summer course that requires WRDS. Please email haasref-library@berkeley.edu with details of your course enrollment to request summer access.
Please also see this guide which describes our WRDS data subscriptions. Please also note that we have many other sources of financial data which do not require special approval, for example Capital IQ. View a full list of our business databases here.
