How to Access: Workspace can be accessed through the Web or the Workspace Desktop application. Datastream is available via the Excel add-in on Workspace Desktop (Windows required). To use Workspace or Datastream, you must book a Workspace ID. To book, check the available times, then email the business librarians at libbusiness@wlu.ca to confirm your time and receive your User ID and password. 

For details, please see the guide on Accessing Workspace with Datastream. Business librarians are available to assist you - See the contact information in the left sidebar. 

This platform provides access to Datastream and AMR (Aftermarket Research, formerly known as Investext).

Laurier Library has provided access to Datastream and AMR/Investext for years. Datastream was originally available only as a client-based application on a workstation in the library. This changed after 2020 when it moved to the Eikon platform. Then in August 2025, Datastream and Investext moved to the Workspace platform.
