Space Availability - Financial Terminals

Opening Hours: Physical terminals may only be used during the Academic Commons Opening Hours.

Location: NYU Shanghai Library, 5th Floor, North Building/H!TIME Hall (near the service desk)

Appropriate Use Policy:

  • Please understand that you should use Wind and Bloomberg only for the purpose of academic research and courses, with the knowledge that for-profit and/or personal uses are forbidden. You can never share full or substantial portions of reports, articles, spreadsheets, datasets, etc., from Wind and Bloomberg with anyone outside of NYU Shanghai. That means you cannot share them with your experiential client projects, internships, and current employers. 
  • The maximum booking duration is 120 minutes each time and two times a day. We hope everyone can be attentive to their booked slots and obey the rules to make others use the terminals conveniently. 
  • If the reserved workstation is occupied when you arrive, please notify one of the staff at the library service desk. Note that you may forfeit your reservation if you are more than 15 minutes late, or leave the terminal unattended for more than 15 minutes during your reservation period.
  • Excel Add-In (also known as API) download limits: Yes. When the download is at its limit, users need to wait until the first day of the next month (Bloomberg) or another 7 days (Wind) before it resets or try the other terminals. Please remember to be considerate to fellow users - only download what you need or export data from the terminal interface directly which doesn’t count in the download limit of Excel Add-In.

Bloomberg Terminal: Physical terminals are available for NYU Shanghai students only. Please note that there is no remote access available after June 30th, 2022

Wind Terminal: Physical terminals are available for NYU Shanghai and NYU Study Away Students. Please note that only NYU Shanghai students (including NYU Stern-NYU Shanghai Joint Programs) studying away in NYC, AD and other learning centers (not physically in Shanghai for a whole semester) can apply for Wind remote access through NYU Shanghai's VCL service. Study away students in Shanghai will need to visit the physical library (5th floor, north building) to use Wind Terminal in person.
