Library Resources Update - IBISWorld Database

    IBISWorld Database has been added back to the AU Library resources! We are happy to have this significant resource back for our faculty and students to use in their research. IBISWorld was a resource previously held by the Library, but was discontinued in Summer 2020 due to budget cuts. 

 
   

   IBISWorld offers users industry profiles with key data on more than 700 U.S. industries, arranged by NAICS code. It can be searched by NAICS code, industry, Company, and keyword. Each report is about 25- 30 pages and covers Industry definitions, Industry performance, Key statistics, Jargon and glossary, and other information.

  It is live and ready to use for your research needs. The best place to find it is through the Library's A to Z Database guide. (https://libguides.ashland.edu/az.php) 

    If you have any questions or want to learn more about library resources, you can always reach out to the Reference Librarians via chat, on the homepage, email at Library@ashand.edu, or call (419.289.5402).
