Case Western Reserve University Gartner Portal


Gartner is a leading consulting firm that provides independent research and analysis on all aspects of the Information Technology industry. The CWRU campus community now has access to Gartner’s core research content through the CWRU-Gartner portal.  Core research represents some 150,000+ documents published by our 650 analysts or around 80% of all of Gartner research. Please note, that there are some types of research that Core Research users do not have access to. These are Executive Programs (for CIO’s & Industry Executives), Gartner for IT Leaders specific research (tools kits and templates) and Dataquest market statistics/databases (for Vendors).

Some examples of the inherent value that access to Gartner research brings to the academic community are:

  • Allows faculty to bring timely, objective real-world examples and content to the classroom, enriching the educational experience.
  • Provides insight to the application of technology to business problems, which is used in many MBA programs
  • Provides understanding of the long-term trends and issues that future IT managers will need to face
  • Provides insight into the impact of IT on virtually all aspects of our world today.
  • Is a source of hard to find statistical data on the IT industry.

The information available from Gartner can be invaluable to many disciplines including: Management, Engineering, Computer Science, Management Information Systems, Law, Medical and Healthcare Administration programs

This resource is made available by the campus Information Technology Services Dept in collaboration with Kelvin Smith Library and its use is restricted to current CWRU faculty, staff and students

The CWRU-Gartner portal requires you to login with your Case Western Reserve ID and password. If you have problems accessing gartner.com, please contact  askalibrarian@case.edu or phone number 216-368-6596.

What are Electronic Resources?
Electronic resources are generally considered to be Internet-based or online versions of print journals, newspapers, magazines, books, manuals, and other materials. It should be noted that some journals and databases are now published in electronic format only. This trend is expected to continue.
What are electronic or ejournals?

An electronic journal (ejournal, e-journal, ej, etc.) is a digitized or online version of a printed journal, such as the Physical Review A. Like most ejournals, this journal exists in both print and electronic formats. Collectively, the Case libraries provide access to thousands of electronic journals. This includes journals that are licensed independently by the Case libraries, journals in the OhioLINK Electronic Journal Center, and a select number of journals that are freely available over the World Wide Web.

Users should be aware that many titles licensed by Case are not accessible from the OhioLINK EJC. An example of this is Science Online, the Web version of Science Magazine.

What are research databases?

A database is a collection of information organized into a particular format. Every item in a database has its own record and each of these records is itself divided into specific fields of information (e.g., author, title, etc.) In this respect, a telephone book can be defined as a database.

An electronic research database is a computerized collection of information in digital format. The Case libraries provide access to several hundred research databases, many of which include the full text of journal and newspaper articles. View Research Databases for a complete list of databases provided by the Case Libraries.

Users should be aware that several titles subscribed by Case are not accessible from the OhioLINK Research Databases list. An example of this is IEEE Xplore. IEEE Xplore provides full text access to IEEE transactions, journals, magazines and conference proceedings published since 1988 and all current IEEE standards.

How do I access the Databases from Home?

If you are a student, faculty, or staff at Case, you may access the databases with software-free remote authentication to OhioLINK electronic databases and journals. When you're away from your own computer or away from campus, logon to OhioLINK and choose a database or electronic journal.

You'll be prompted to enter Case as your school, your name and Case Account Number (your SS# is no longer used), and your library

For current Case enrolled and employed individuals, it's a simple way to have 2 hours of remote access to OhioLINK-only electronic content, and you can reconnect as often as you need to use the reources! Use any computer with a current web-browsr. (Remote authentication to Case-only resources requires VPN software on your computer.) Use PIN authentication for OhioLINK-only resources across the U.S. and around the world!
