Special searches: hidden gems of the databases





Today – one for Business Majors. How to quickly find a case study

Our Search Everything box gets results from most                          
of our databases. Why wouldn’t you use it all the time?

One reason to change is when you want the extra options in the subject specific resources.
Need a case study that writes up an industry situation, how it was handled, and the outcome?
 Business Source Premier will find that for you.
 (below we’ll show you how to get to Business Source Premier)
After you open this database, look below the search boxes
Sitting quietly in the Document Type box near the top of the list is Case Study.  
Select this unobtrusive but powerful tool and then chose full-text; over 8000 articles pop up!












I did not find an article about “executives who succeed because they use all the tools at their disposal” so someone should write that article.
To find Business Source Premier
on our main page select Databases and then the letter B.
 If you ever cannot find what you need consider changing your search terms or looking in another source, and always ask a librarian.  (MM)
