Health Sciences Research Resources

SFU researchers now have access to an excellent new resource: Datamonitor360. It provides global industry, company, and country profiles and strategic analysis.

It includes:

• 7100+ industry profiles, many of which include Porter’s 5 Forces analysis
• Over 31,000 company reports, including SWOT analyses for about 10% of the companies.
• 110 Country Reports, many with PESTLE analyses
• Hundreds of case studies
• Country Statistics Database
• Market Data Analytics Database

…and much more.

Health Sciences researchers may find the Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare and Healthcare and Life Sciences sections of particular interest. (To access these, click on the Industries and Subjects entry points respectively on the 360 homepage).

Here is an example report on The Cardiovascular Market Outlook to 2016.

If you have any feedback or questions about this resource, please contact me or my colleague Mark Bodnar, Liaison Librarian for Business at SFU Burnaby.

Please note that this database will replace Business Monitor Online when it expires in August 2011.

Staff at the SFU Library are developing a new search tool for the library’s web site.  The new tool simultaneously searches several different library services from a single search box.

Please test out the new search tool and let us know what you think about it.

The search tool is located here.

A short survey asking for your thoughts is here.  In lieu of the survey, you are welcome to contact the library’s Web Libriaran Nina Saklikar (nsaklika@sfu.ca) directly.
