Although case studies can be found in many books and publications, we have identified specific library databases and the methods of using them to find case studies. A few free/open-access case studies resources are also highlighted in this guide.
The FIT Library subscribes to over 150 databases many containing content unavailable--or unavailable for free--anywhere else online.
TIP: OneSearch covers most [but not all] of the databases we subscribe to, but for maximum control of a specific database's content, you may be better off searching it directly
Here are a few specific suggestions in commonly-used categories:
The mainstays of scholarly research, these databases are some of the ones FIT Library provides that focus on----or have easy ways to filter to----respected academic, scholarly, and peer-reviewed articles and papers.
Try some of these databases for background information on any topic, and when you need a more business-oriented or popular (rather than scholarly) take on your topic.
Forecasting and trend services have long evolved from covering only fashion, and market research has many applications, even for non-profit and creative fields.
Our databases cover demographic trends, consumer lifestyles and spending, successful and not-so-successful products, packaging, and more general trends and interests, often on a global scale
Consumer, marketing, retail, and innovation trends
