The IBISWorld: U.S. Industry Reports contains in-depth surveys of 723 industries. Reports are usually 30-50 pages long. Reports cover industry segments, market characteristics, industry conditions, profiles of key companies, and industry outlook. There are numerous statistical tables, which can be exported to Excel. Reports are updated every four months.  We are holding a free trial and evaluation of this database through July 31; you’ll also find it listed in GALILEO.  Please let us know what you think!  Contact Dr. Bob Fernekes, Business Librarian, at fernekes@georgiasouthern.edu or Jonathan Harwell, Collection Development & Assessment Librarian, at jharwell@georgiasouthern.edu or make a comment here on Zach’s News!
