Gartner Group Intraweb

Have you ever found the Gartner interface to be difficult to search? I have, and I have found a solution.

For example, guess which folder might contain the research you are looking for?

Research
Topic Areas
Business Objectives
Computing Hardware
Software Infrastructure
Business Applications
Application Development
Communications Services
Communications Equipment
IT Services
IT Management
Technology, Society and Public Policy
Semiconductors


Forget it, each of those folders contains more folders. You have to dig and dig, "as deeply as you'd like" according to Gartner...

Try going to their commercial website, Gartner.com and there you can do a search more easily. Remember we only get reports from Oct. 2005-September 2006 so much of what you find on the commercial site won't be available to you.

However, when you do find a report that you think you'd like to check, note the primary (first) author's name or the date of publication. Go back our academic interface and search by Author or Date, since you now know both of those little details.

Access to databases

On Sunday, April 6th, we detected a problem with off-campus and out of library access to our web based research tools (ie, databases). UNIT has been made aware of and is working on this problem at this time.

Please call (610) 519-4270 for research assistance at this time, and until access is restored.

This issue should be corrected at this time. (4:00pm, 4/7/08)
