Jinfo Article

Abstract
Although free information on people abounds on the Web, the quantity isn't always matched by quality. User-generated information, for instance, may skew accuracy, and verification can be tricky. Donna Fryer recommends revisiting the "Big Three" fee databases of Factiva, Dialog, and LexisNexis to be sure that the people data you use is reliable.
