You can use the advanced search limiters of Document or Publication Type in some databases to find case studies.
- On the Library homepage click on Research by Subject.
- Click on the link for Business and Management.
- Scroll down to the section: Business & Management databases
- Click on Business & management databases.
- Scroll down and click on Business Source Complete.
- If you are prompted to log in use your myWalden Portal user name and password.
Note: If you are not already on the Advanced Search screen, click on Advanced Search. - In the first search box type in your topic keywords. For example, you could enter:
entrepreneur or small business
- Scroll down to the Limit your results section and select a limiter.
Advanced Limiter boxes could be labeled either Document Type or Publication Type.
In the relevant box, locate and select: Case Study.
- Click on the Search button to run your search.
Search tips:
- Do not select both a publication type and a document type. That search is too narrow.
- To see all of the results for a particular publication or document type do not type in any keywords. Simply select the limiter and click on search.
- A Document Type search is the narrowest search you can do. Keep in mind that results depend upon how a document was cataloged when added to the database. It is possible some case studies were not cataloged correctly.
- These instructions are mostly for the different EBSCO databases. Databases from other companies may or may not have the same advanced search options.
