Library resources for you who study: Industrial economics and management
Search
Go to the digital library course Search, evaluate and use information to learn more about information retrieval, source criticism and how to avoid plagiarism. You can do the three modules of the course or choose the parts that are of interest to you.
Summon@BTH
Start searching in Summon@BTH which is the library gateway to printed books and all electronic articles, books, conferences and theses available in the databases we subscribe to.
Articles in databases
If you want to do more advanced searches for scientific articles you can use the bibliographic databases Scopus and Web of Science. Scopus includes a wide range of subjects, as natural sciences, technical science, medicine, social sciences and more. On the other hand, Web of Science focuses more on natural and technical sciences and less on social sciences. Since industrial economics is an interdisciplinary subject you might need to search for information in both subject databases, such as Business Source Premier, as well as databases within other subjects or bibliographic databases that cover several subjects.

Student theses and doctoral theses can be a good source for information. They also have long reference lists. Theses can be found in the Swedish national portal Uppsök and in the European DART. Theses from Australia can be found in Trove and doctoral theses from the Nordic countries can be found in Libris. Worldcat collects international student theses, doctoral theses and references to books and reports.

You can search for e-books directly in their respective e-book databases, for example O’Reilly, Ebook central and Morgan and Claypool.
