Data-Gathering Resources 203

Library at Harvard Business School advises users on where
to get information about a specific industry. The guides are
written for Harvard students and faculty, but many of the
resources mentioned will be available in other libraries.
• Cole Library of Rensselaer at Hartford (www.rh.edu
/library/industry/industry.htm)—This is another set of
guides on how to find information on specific industries. It
lists a few more industries than at the Harvard website, but
there seem to be fewer sources listed per industry.
• Fuld & Co. Internet Intelligence Index (www.fuld.com/i3
/index.html)—Fuld & Co. is one of the premier competi-
tive intelligence companies in the United States and per-
haps the world. Its Internet Intelligence Index is a resource
for gathering intelligence about competitors. According to
this website, the index “contains links to over 600 intelli-
gence-related Internet sites, covering everything from
macro-economic data to individual patent and stock quote
information.”
