insights on how and where to get started with disabilities research, including a list of
international organisations collecting that data.
USE: With 'only' ninety years as Birmingham Central Library's business information system,
Business Insight is still finding ways to stay relevant. During the current economic
crisis, that means the creation and launch of BestForBusiness, a new business trading
platform that works as an online and physical service for every business, individual
or organisation in the UK. Douglas Laird explains the components and benefits of
BestForBusiness, as well as his ambitious plans for the platform's growth.
MANAGE: In an age when cloud storage architecture is becoming more robust, offering not
just cost savings but reliability, information professionals are playing a bigger role in
determining how enterprise information is getting stored in the cloud. Jennifer Smith
offers a common sense checklist of attributes and questions to assess hosted providers,
along with tips for the types of answers to look for.
SHARE: In our digital age, copyright takes on a new urgency for publishers and corporate
content consumers. Martin Belam sits down with Mark Bide, Project Director for ACAP,

of content re-use over the Internet, to talk about how it can underpin legal use of
protected data assets.
