Specialized Research and Information Groups

The computer revolution has spawned a new industry - information management. Specialty firms that do nothing but handle information have sprung up in the past decade or so to help companies find what they need. These firms can handle your research requests on everything from how much sugar the average Ukrainian consumes and the implication of a weak ruble on foreign trade to what price the federal government paid for toilet paper last year.

Some public libraries have directories that list such firms and describe their services and fees. Research and information firms offer services that range from clipping relevant articles on a regular basis, to monitoring specific databases and highlighting information, to preparing formal reports on requested topics.

In addition, some firms do pro-active research, that is, gather information that is not currently needed but is likely to prove valuable in the future. Such information can then be placed in the swipe files and updated or cut and pasted into an article or a report when needed.

Dear Customer Service Department:

I am a student at Madison College. This semester I am writing a research paper on the banking system in Ukraine.

When I learned that your company publishes the brochure, Economy of Ukraine, I decided to include it in my preliminary bibliography.

Could you please send a copy of this booklet to my home address as soon as possible. It will be most useful to include some of the information in my paper. My work is due December 1, so I would appreciate the material as soon as possible.

Sincerely yours,
