Dear Business Source Premier Customers:

This message is intended to provide some detail regarding the Industry Profile information currently available as part of Business Source Premier (BSP). Many of you have requested this particular source type be included in the database, and we wanted to call it to your attention as a relatively new (and growing) component of BSP.

Currently, BSP offers approximately 1,800 quality full-text industry profiles (reports) from three different content providers. As of today, 1,600+ full-text industry profiles averaging 10-12 pages in length are available from DataMonitor. Another 22 industry almanacs are included from Plunkett Research, and more than 100 industry yearbooks from Global Insight.

Within the next two months, 1,000 additional industry profiles from DataMonitor will be available in BSP. These include updates to existing reports as well as new industry profiles. EBSCO anticipates that full-text industry profiles will be added regularly, as this information becomes available.

As of today, users can sort result lists by "industry profiles" in order to quickly retrieve this type of information source after conducting a search query. Also, via the advanced search screen, users may limit searches to industry profiles, and may also search by publication to retrieve profiles from specific sources.

We are excited to bring this valuable content to current customers of Business Source Premier. As always, we appreciate your feedback regarding how we may continue to enhance BSP through additional quality content. We are available to answer any questions you may have regarding this information or other EBSCOhost related items. If you have a technical question, please use our online service at http://case.support.ebscohost.com. If you have a general inquiry, please contact us via e-mail at information@ebscohost.com.
