Bloomberg Terminal Locations

1.  Center for Science & Social Science Information

A Bloomberg terminal is available for Yale researchers at CSSSI. Reservations to use this terminal are now available.

 Yale affiliates may reserve two hours of consecutive time on the terminal each day, up to two weeks in advance. 

If the terminal is not reserved, walk-up use is permitted. Reservations are held for 10 minutes past the scheduled reservation time. After this time, the reservation will be considered forfeited and the terminal will be available. 

2.  School of Management - 199 Whitney

The Bloomberg Terminals at SOM have been relocated to Suite 1 of 199 Whitney Avenue to facilitate the Evans Hall 1st floor renovation work.  SOM faculty, staff, and students have 24/7 access to the new location at 199 Whitney Avenue with their Yale ID card. The entrance to the Bloomberg Terminal Lab is at the back end of the parking lot, under the ProPT awning. 

Use of Bloomberg terminals is for current Yale students, staff, and faculty only.  A guest login cannot be used. 

Yale University's access to Bloomberg does not include Bloomberg Anywhere or Bloomberg Professional for devices. Access is limited to the locations listed above.
