I writing a 8-10 oage research paper on human resources strategic management and strategic planning, can you help me find resources?
Answer
Hello Jason
There are three online databases that come to mind for researching your HR topic and you might want to try all of them: CCH Intelliconnect, LexisNexis Academic and the Business Source Premier Database in Ebscohost.
When using the CCH Intelliconnect database, after logging in, you will have to create a personal account and then you can use the database easily. When you open it, it has a tutorial right at the beginning that would help you use this database. It definitely has information about your topic and I would try a search or two in the search box.
LexisNexis is not an easy database to use but it is much more straightforward to use than CCH and there are help menus and tutorials on our website to help you.
The easiest database to use is Business Source Premier. If you go to Ebschost you just checkmark the database and click continue. Then you set it to find full-text and peer-reviewed articles by checkmarking the box below the search box and put your topics in the search box. If you put human resources strategic management AND strategic planning in the search box, and limit your search to peer review and full-text you will find 1745 articles. You will have to limit your search much more by adding other search topics to it or by limiting it by date e.g. articles between 2002-2014. In limiting that way I found 978 articles instead.
Let me know if you have any further questions for me. If you do, you can email me back or give me a call at the number below.
