Abstract

Librarians and information professionals are continuously up for the challenge of finding pertinent information. However there seems to be that one request that tests one's research expertise - locating private company information. This request usually begins with "Can you find me some information on Company XYZ? I believe it is a local company. I know there's something out there somewhere."

The articles in this report highlight that private company research can be challenging or time consuming, but rewarding! Finding that "hidden gem" could increase one's research knowledge and expertise in the information professional field.
