You can find information on just about any industry in Business Source Complete (BSC) just by searching for the name of the industry and adding "industry" to your search. For example: "pet food industry," "airlines industry," "hospitality industry." You may also want to use BSC's internal limiter to find industry profiles from MarketWatch and Barnes Reports. Once you've retrieved a list of search results, look to the left side of the screen for "Source Types." Limit your search to Industry Profiles, Market Research Reports, or trade publications.
