Hi Frank
We had Key Note and we also have Mintel's MBD along with other Mintel ranges including their Market Sizes database which is useful as it is an international collection.
Have to admit I really like MBD reports as I feel they are slightly more in-depth than Key Note. Especially since they changed from the full reports to the update reports.
Other we have looked in the past include:
Datamonitor (think they are now MarketLine)
Euromonitor
IBIS
Just FYI we do allow non-members to come and use our library including access to the research reports (they are all online) but we make a small charge per day. (£25 per day for students (Inc VAT) or £40 plus VAT otherwise.)
Kind regards
Dawn

Subject: Key Note content changes
Dear All,
We were recently informed by our senior account manager that Key Note would cease to publish market research reports from next month.
Obviously, it will be nice to have access to Mintel content until the end of the licence period. However, I am unsure at this stage if we will be able to justify follow-on funding for such material going forward. My fear is that our users will gain a taste for this alternative only to be frustrated if we cannot then afford a subscription.
I am hoping the community can let me know how other Key Note subscribers are planning to handle this particular issue. Secondly, if you are aware of any valid comparators, I would be grateful to receive the details. I have previous experience of using the following databases, neither currently licensed at St Marys:
FAME (Financial Analysis Made Easy)
GMID (Global Markets Information Database)
I look forward to hearing back in due course.
Best wishes,
Frank
