Source Expertise - What It Means in a Google World
|
Jinfo Research Focus When anyone can act like a researcher with a few keywords in a web search box, it takes special effort to cultivate and promote the value of source expertise. There's little point in fighting the tide of Google usage. But we firmly believe that information experts can, and should, actively take on a role that's more strategic than "search" within their organisations. |
The resources we've published in this Research Focus |
In this Research Focus which ran from April - June 2016, we looked at how we can:
- Consult with project teams and departments about sources
- Stay informed about what's changing in the world of sources - to manage cost, risk and opportunities
- Understand specialist sources in detail - those products and tools that go where search engines can't.
The must-read findings and actions from this Focus are:
- What you should sacrifice to focus on source expertise
- Why you should aim higher and engage more
- What you should invest in first for highest value.
Each of these key insights is discussed in detail in the report, along with actions you can take to work towards alignment. Request your copy today.

Achieving strategic value from source expertise can only be realised when you step back from daily actions and identify those areas which provide highest value to the business. We believe this is so critical that we've made our End of Focus report Insights and Actions from the Research Focus "Source Expertise - What It Means in a Google World" available to both Subscribers and non-customers.
This End of Focus Report collects a full thematic index of content from this Research Focus in a convenient PDF package for download and offline reading.
