A case study reports an organization's implementation of a practice, product, system or service.
Both EBSCOhost and ProQuest Central databases contain case studies and related business content.
- EBSCOhost: Business Source Elite features over 2100 full-text, peer-reviewed case studies
- ProQuest: ABI/Inform & Business Market Research Collection (part of ProQuest Central) features over 3700 case studies
To access case studies:
-
See if the database has a "case study" Document Type limiter on the advanced search page
-
Search on the phrase "case stud*" to retrieve results that contain both "case study" and "case studies" - the asterisk truncates the word and searches for variant endings
- Add a subject into the search string with AND eg. healthcare or HMO
-
Use the results subject limiters to narrow by topic
