How do I locate case studies in the Library?

You can use the following Library resources to locate full-text case studies. If you identify a case study that is unavailable in full text, you may request it through our free Interlibrary Loan service.

O'Reilly for Higher Education:

O'Reilly for Higher Education provides real-world case studies from leading companies on topics such as management and leadership, big data, software design, and security. 

Access them at: O'Reilly Case Studies

SAGE Research Methods:

The SAGE Research Methods database contains a collection of social science case studies showing the challenges and successes of research written by the researchers themselves. Cases are peer-reviewed and have pedagogical tools, including learning objectives and discussion questions. Filter by source type and discipline, and search for keywords within texts. 

Access them at: SAGE Research Methods: Cases

ProQuest:

You can limit your search to case studies in ProQuest. On the Advanced Search screen, select Case Study under Document Type, as shown below.

Gale Academic OneFile 

You can limit your search in Gale Academic OneFile to case studies, including specifically business case studies. Select Advanced Search. Click on the drop-down menu for Document Type and select Business Case Study or Case Study, depending on your research need.

 

 

NavigatorSearch:

Finally, you can try searching for case studies using NavigatorSearch, the search box on the Library's homepage. Click on the Advanced Search link to bring up more search options.

Since there is no specific limiter in NavigatorSearch for case studies, we will include it in our search terms. The example search below is for (marketing or advertising) AND “case study” AND china. It is important to note that we have included the exact phrase “case study” in the article's abstract (AB Abstract) because the abstract will likely identify it as such.
