Getting Educated Before You Search, Mary Ellen Bates, Bates Info (Feb 2010)
Always good advice from Mary Ellen Bates, master researcher. Her secret is asking others - especially other librarians.
"Most large university libraries create resource guides or "pathfinders" to help students find information on frequently-requested topics. Business libraries are great sources for tools for conducting research in a specific industry."
Points to some business research guides in the US.
What about Canada? Rotman Business Information Centre at University of Toronto has this guide to industry information. (May 2009) and on Investment information (OCt 2009)
