196 Appendix A

There is not necessarily a chart or table for every industry.
Most of the data in the current volume are at least a year
or two old.
• Gale State Rankings Reporter—This resource allows you
to check how the states stack up on a variety of demo-
graphic, sociological, and economic measures. This source
is available at many public and university libraries.
• Market Share Reporter—This source is a collection of
tables and charts that depict market share for all kinds of
products and services that have appeared in articles in vari-
ous journals. There is not necessarily a chart or table for
every product or service. Most of the data in the current
volume are at least a year or two old.
• Price’s List of Lists (gwis2.circ.gwu.edu/~gprice/listof
.htm)—This site has links to a wide range of lists and rank-
ings. Here is a description in the designers’ own words:
“The Internet contains numerous lists of information.
Many of these lists present information in the form of
rankings of different people, organizations, companies, etc.
This collection is designed to be a clearinghouse for these
types of resources. Hopefully, it will allow these useful
tools to be located and accessed in a timely and efficient
manner. Many of these lists have been designed to be inter-
active/searchable and provide greater utility than the
printed versions.”
• World Market Share Reporter—This source, much like
Market Share Reporter, is a collection of tables and charts
that depict market share for all kinds of products and ser-
vices mentioned in various journals, except the focus is on
worldwide or non-U.S. rankings and shares. There is not
necessarily a chart or table for every product or service.
Most of the data in the current volume are at least a year
or two old.
