How do I search for a specific Industry Code in the Business Source databases?
Industry, or NAICS Codes (North American Industry Classification System), can be found by conducting a keyword search using the searchable tag "IC" followed by a space and a keyword (usually a number) such as: Ex: IC 454111 (for the Electronic Shopping).
If you click an article title link from the Result List and look for NAICS in the Detailed Record, you will see the NAICS codes that were found for your search term.
