Published by Mark BodnarBuds & shoots are popping up in my garden, so it must be almost spring! (Ignore the snow forecast for next week... )
Besides being the season when young s turn to love ... spring is also the time when old business librarians get to announce additions to major databases. It's always fun to share good news!

- in-depth statistics on sales, manufacturing, employment and more,
- key contacts (associations, government agencies, and internet sites), and a
- detailed directory of major firms, complete with high-level financial data and growth plans.
Plunkett industry almanacs are a useful supplement to our other industry reports, such as those in our IBISWorld database. They don't generally contain much analysis, but they provide the information you need to start analyzing potential markets yourself.
We'll be adding links to these new editions on relevant SFU Library pages such as our Industry Surveys and Biotechnology Industry research guides over the next few weeks.
