UPDATE as of 9/1/2010 Drexel no longer carries Gartner Research –

Instead we recommend:

Faulkners for basic definitions and market awareness

Burton Group for in-depth tactical decision support on technology management issues, or

IGI Global for extensive handbooks and encyclopedias on specialty information use domains

Feel free to get in touch if you have questions about any of these.

UPDATE as of 9/1/2008 Drexel no longer carries R&D Insight

Want a glimpse of what the pharma info-pro’s life is all about? R & D Insight (RDI) is the authoritative source for worldwide pharmaceutical pipeline business intelligence monitoring all pertinent aspects of a drug’s life cycle from clinical development to product launch or discontinuation. Begun in 1995 as ADIS R&D Insight, it provides drug intelligence on over 15,000 developmental compounds and continuously monitors the pharmaceutical environment, increasing its database by 15% annually.

The Drexel subscription will be on both the native and OVID platforms, starting in January, with the OVID platform permitting cross-searching with other OVID-hosted medical databases. The Library will hopefully carry links to both versions, but I highly recommend you try the native interface to get the full benefit of this tool.
