Hello!
This guide will direct you to the best sources for doing library research in Business.
Depending on your topic, you may also want to check out the guides for Economics and Accounting.
I welcome feedback and suggestions for resources to add or if you have any questions.
Resources to get you started
For industry, market, and company research, check out these three new database subscriptions! Please contact me (Angela) for any questions regarding accessing, navigating, and incorporating these resources into your research and course projects.
- IBISWorld
Full-text, fully searchable global industry reports at the U.S. state and country levels. Search or browse by industry (by 5-digit NAICS code classifications), or search by keyword or company name. Additional tools and content include the Industry Data Wizard; state and specialized Industry Reports; and the U.S. Business Environment Profiles. Note: UCSB's subscription does not include access to Benchmarking content, however companies can be compared side-by-side within industry reports.
