Jinfo helps information teams optimise their information sources, technology and value. Find out how.

"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.
