I get alot of requests for how to research an industry in areas such growth, trends, ratios, etc. The very first step is to determine the NAICs code (government classification) on http://www.census.gov/eos/www/naics/. If not easily found, we then have a book where we can research deeper with you - just ask at the front desk.
Once you have the NAICs code, you should spend time in the various government websites available and this course guide will assist you on http://libguides.southalabama.edu/docsbusiness. You are now ready to research further in our databases but this will be our next blog.
