A case study is a method of research where a group, community, institution, or culture are analyzed for an extended period. This type of research methodology can be used in several areas of study including business, education, and science just to name a few. You can access case studies in the library by taking the following steps.
Library OneSearch
1. Click on the Advanced Search link within the Library OneSearch box on the library homepage.
2. Enter concepts or keywords related to the case studies you are interested in into the first search box. In the second search box type “case stud*”. Using an asterisk (*) at the end of a root word allows you to search for words with the same or similar meanings, and putting quotation marks around multiple words tells the database that you want to see this exact phrase in your search results.
3. From here you can limit your results to Scholarly/Peer Reviewed resources or by a specific date range in the Filters section.
