Spotlight on... Mintel

Mintel is the one of the U.K's best known independent producers of market intelligence information. Its online database contains hundreds of consumer product and services reports, as well as many Industrial Reports which cover sectors such as engineering, technology and construction. This makes it a great resource for anyone looking for statistical information or wanting to identify market trends in the fields of engineering. Both UK and European reports are available and many contain five-yearforecasts, giving a complete picture of the industrial sector. To find the reports most relevant to you first log into MUSE and search for Mintel from the Librarys catalogue StarPlus. Once youre connected you can then select the different Report Catagories from the homepage. There are currently 120 reports in the UK Industrial section which you can browse through, or alternatively, there are both basic and advanced search options available. Once youve found a report youre interested in, you can download all the separate chapters as pdfs or you can just choose the executive summary for a quick read. There is also the option to download the report presentation which gives you a powerpoint file of the reports graphs and statistical information. For more useful databases check out your Library subject guide .
