Information has value. Monetary value. Strategic value.
Knowing about your company, product, industry and customers will help justify strategic choices.
RIT Libraries subscribes to some information products to help current students practice searching for and working with premium information. Below are some of the products that can help with finding premium business information to help make informed decisions and recommendations. Some demographics are not covered at all in market research. When looking for demographics related to disabilities try non-profit and advocacy agencies or government data.
The overarching themes:
-industry
-specific market of product or service (if available)
-demographics
-news
Not all industries, markets and demographics are available so you work with what you can get and be flexible in adapting what is available. Can't find demographics for people who use the public bus system in Rochester? Find out what demographics you can get for Rochester and surrounding areas. See if you can find national information on public bus systems for public transportation.

News and Trade Magazines
We do not. Instead we offer secondary access through ProQuest and EBSCO through the links above. The articles represent the majority, but not all, of the articles published in the print versions of the publications. Most include text only with occasional images. For full and unrestricted access to any publication look at subscribing directly. Most of these publications offer student discounts. That said library access does provide a majority of the content.
Use of RIT resources is reserved for current RIT students, faculty
and staff for academic and teaching purposes only.
Please contact your librarian with any questions.
