Featured Database: Statisa
You can use databases to easily find organized collections of articles, journals, news, streaming videos, primary sources, data, and more!
Here’s one of our most favorite databases:
What’s in it?
Statista includes market and consumer data, statistics, reports, market insights, consumer insights, and company insights in English, German, Spanish and French. It provides data and statistics related to demographics, lifestyle, technology, textiles, sports, marketing, transportation, sustainability, companies, psychographics, and more. Statista also includes many easy-to-read infographics displaying this information.
Why should you use it?
Use Statista to find statistics, data, and infographics about industry and lifestyle. It also provides reports about industries and can be useful when writing about how an industry is doing or what has affected an industry. Statista can also be used to gain a general understanding about popular topics; such as gaming, social media, artificial intelligence, fast fashion, electric videos.
Who should use it?
Statista would be useful for students, faculty, and staff in business, marketing, sociology, communication, computer science, economics, health care management, hospitality, and public administration. It would also be relevant to anyone with an interest in industry or market data.
Why use a database?
When you use a specific database, rather than a search engine or discovery tool, you often can find more relevant sources. For example, subject databases include sources about that subject only, rather than a general search engine or discovery tool that includes information about everything. This way you don’t have to wade through thousands of irrelevant results!
