Case Studies

Although some case studies may be available through Interlibrary Loan, many of the case studies from publishers like the like the Harvard School of Business or Stanford School of Business, must be purchased by the user, in part because of copyright limits on distribution of this document type. However, this does not mean that cases studies are not available.

Case studies often are featured in books or journals in the library databases. These can be found by searching on "case studies" or "case study" in article titles or abstracts and the target topic, e.g. biotechnology AND "case study."
