Robin NeidorfFor all our love of benchmarking, the data can only give you a snapshot of today. But benchmarking is most valuable as the foundation for helping you design, or refine, your vision for the future. The full range of resources in the Research Focus, "Benchmark information services - progressing towards transformation" will get you started.

Your Jinfo Subscription gives you access to all of it. Go deeper with a Jinfo Consulting workshop for assessment and planning - the most cost-effective way to tailor our benchmarking data to your specific environment based on reporting line, team capacity, range of services and more.

For a taste of how we can help, check out our top three insights from this Research Focus, available on our blog. Or register your interest to receive them in your inbox for greater convenience. Benchmarking is just the beginning. Where will it take you?

Director of Research and Head of Consulting

For fans of "My Favourite Tipples"

We've taken a hiatus from publishing My Favourite Tipples and ran a brief survey to gather feedback on this feature of the Jinfo Newsletter. My Favourite Tipples first ran in issue No. 59 in March 2000. With an average of 4 to 5 Tipples per issue, that means we've shared over two thousand sites, resources, and favourites from a wide range of information practitioners.

After reviewing survey responses and careful internal discussion, we have taken the decision to discontinue My Favourite Tipples at this time. Comments told us you like the serendipity, diversity and perspectives they brought - we're considering ways to offer these benefits in a format that better matches Jinfo's current focus. Thanks for the Tipples through the years.
