  2. IBISWorld is only available on trial until June 2011 and so access off-campus is only permitted through the use of the University proxy server. Information on how to do this is available at http://www1.aston.ac.uk/lis/eis/passwords/ejournalsproxy/

    I have added this information to the IBISWorld details within the Aston e-Library.

  5. Is there any way of accessing this now that the trial period is over? there are some exclusive reports that cost over $900USD and I desperately need those.

    IBISWorld only allows access to the reports when an individual, organisation or academic insitution subscribes to the product or puts in a request to buy a report.

    Aston University Library already subscribes to a number of market research databases that may have similar information for your research needs.

    Access the Aston e-Library from the Library homepage and view Datamonitor reports or GMID reports. There is also a service called ReportLinker which is available from our electronic resources page: http://www1.aston.ac.uk/lis/eis/

    If you need further assistance please come in to the Library and speak to the staff on the Library Help Desk who will be happy to advise you.
