HCC students can access business resources at the USF Tampa Library. You must be physically present at the library to use their databases - no remote access if you are not enrolled at USF. Bring your HawkCard to the library and request a public computer. You will be given a login/password to use onsite.
From the public computer at University of South Florida, use the USF Library Databases. From the subjects dropdown, select Business. Of particular interest are Business Market Research Collection, Ward's Business Directory of US Private and Public Companies, and IBISWorld.
You will also find Guides by Subject: Business with suggestions for USF Libraries resources to use for business topics.
