Finding Case Studies

The best place to find a case study for your assignment is ABI INFORM  COMPLETE.  You will find a link to this database in the list of Essential Databases below.

Once you select ABI, you will brought to an advanced search screen.  Enter your terms in the search boxes.  A list of results will appear on this screen.  You want to limit these results.

On the left side of the screen, select Peer reviewed (this will limit to scholarly sources).  Next, scroll down to Document Type, click on "more" toggle.  A box of document types will appear.  Select Case Study by clicking the box under include and select apply at bottom of the box.

If you are unsuccessful finding a suitable case study, try changing your initial search terms.

Another database you may search is Academic Search complete, also listed below.  You can limit you results to Peer Reviewed and document type in this database although the interface is slightly different.
