 Hi, my name is Alex Boucher, I work at Gorgias Library, and today I'm going to walk you through how to do some company research for your class project. At Gorgias Library I'm the research librarian for the College of Human Environmental Sciences so I am the person that is there to help you with projects like this one. In today's video I'm going to try to show you how to do a few specific things. First I'm going to show you how to access the library resources that you'll need to use to complete this project. Second I'll show you how to use some of these resources. And finally I'll show you how to get in touch with me if you need extra help with your research. To access library resources you'll need you can start at lib.ua.edu or go straight from MyBama. If you're on MyBama you can access most of our resources by clicking on the library tab. From here you have a few important links. Scout is the library's general purpose search engine. You can use it to find ebooks, print books, academic journal articles, and more. The databases link is where you can go to find some of the search engines that you could use to find company information. But in this case we just want to go straight to the research guides, scroll down to human environmental sciences, and then scroll down to CTD 320. In this guide you'll find a few things. This video, a few databases you can use to do the research for this assignment, and my contact information. The easiest way to get in touch with me if you need some research help is to send me a quick email. I might be able to answer your question via email or you can set up a meeting either in person or on Zoom. You can also find my contact information on the library's website or on MyBama. In either case just look under staff directory and then scroll down. But now we need to show you how to use some of these databases. You're trying to find information about your specific clothing company and you can do that with any of the databases we have listed. Let's start with D&B Hoover's. This is a good place to go for quick information about specific companies. You can mainly ignore most of the homepage and just run a quick search for your company. I'll start with Calvin Klein. Many companies will have several listings. In this case I'll choose the North American listing. You'll see lots of information on the left-hand side of the screen. You can look at company history, description, summary, and more. You can also create a PDF report at the top of the screen and then download that report. In some cases you will see a SWAT analysis category here on the left-hand side of the screen. If you do see that great. If not you'll just have to piece together information from the various categories. For a company like The Gap you will see a SWAT analysis. So it just varies company by company. Now we'll take a look at Business Source Ultimate. I'll run a quick search and in this case we see a SWAT analysis right at the top. In fact there's several of them. The most recent should be towards the top. If we click on this you can download the PDF, email the link to yourself, and even generate a citation in all the main citation styles. Although you will want to double check that citation before you turn in your final report. You can also look for different types of sources. If you just click on the source types button. Here you'll see all sorts of different types of sources including but not limited to SWAT analysis. The last one I'll show you today is Business Insights. Here you can just run a quick search and you'll see a variety of company information. In this case you will not see a SWAT report. You can look directly for SWAT reports though. Under the companies tab you'll just click on SWAT reports. You could scroll alphabetically but the easiest thing to do is just search for your company in the search within bar. And that's all we've got for this video. Hopefully this will help you get started on your class research project but if you need extra help just ask your librarian.
