What's new this year?

Our 2017 research demonstrates:

1. Value is now driven at least as much by technology as by content
2. Premium databases no longer represent the lion's share of current awareness provision
3. Smart information professionals are envisioning systems for 2020 and then re-engineering from there.

Our Insights & Actions report describes each of these findings in more detail and provides practical tips on how to apply them to your environment - regardless of staff size or budget.

"Define and manage value for current awareness"
Our Research Focus for October to December 2017

Many, if not most, information services provide current awareness and newsletters of various kinds to their stakeholders. Many, if not most, of the services that do so have a difficult time documenting and justifying the value of the time and money they invest to do so.

Over the decade that Jinfo has studied news and current awareness, we have documented and predicted important shifts in available technology, user needs and sources.
