This page contains brief summaries of our major resources. Click any of the links below to begin your research.
Business & Management Journals - EBSCOhost Business Source Premier and ProQuest ABI CompleteIMI course participants perform the majority of their research using these resources. Searching for relevant articles can be a daunting task. The Library staff is available to show you how to find what you need and give you advanced search tips. Email alerts can also be created by journal or topic. This means, for example, you can receive an email containing the table of contents and article summaries from the latest issue of Harvard Business Review.
Find a specific journal - A to Z JournalsThe IMI Library subscribes to journals across a number of databases. If you know the journal you want to review, this resource will tell you the database which contains the journal. Enter the title of the journal you want and A to Z will provide you with a link to the journal.
Business Data & Intelligence Reports - DataMonitor 360This is an extremely powerful resource which provides market information by country, industry, product and more. It also includes market projections (3 years from current) and allows for powerful comparisons by any number of fields including country, product, sector as well as per capita spending, margins and gross spending. The flexibility of this tool is dramaticand the data can be exported for spreadsheets or graphs.
Briefings for Managers - Managment KnowhowA practical toolkit full of brief guides, top-tips, exercises and checklists to help management assess their approach and deal with real-life problems as they arise in a number of areas including managing change, teamwork, emotional intelligence, and redundancy. This resource is meant to be directly applied in the office.
HR Tools & Best Practice Guide - Knowledge BankThis resource is similar to Management Knowhow but the intended audience is HR professionals, Learning & Development team members and trainers of all kinds.
The IMI Library provides access to two fully searchable newspaper archives. Factfinder covers mainly Irish news. Factiva's coverage is worldwide and extensive. Due to license restrictions Factiva can only be accessed on the PCs in the IMI Library.
Reference and Bibliography - RefWorksThis is a citation management resource designed to help organise and correctly format bibliographies and references. RefWorks is linked to the IMI Library journal databases. This allows users to export citations directly without interrupting their research. A bit of work to learn to use RefWorks at the beginning of a research project is far better than hours of work manually constructing a bibliography at the end!
