Databases where you can find company and industry information (financials, SWOT analysis, profiles): 


Databases where you can find market research (demographics, market trends, etc.):

If you use the library's databases for your research, you can copy and paste pre-generated citations - look out for the option as it may appear differently in each interface but is generally represented by an icon of quotation marks.

 

If you need to cite a resource not located in a database, I recommend using the OWL as a reference. Alternatively, reach out to me for help with citations!
