FUMSI Report: Folio on Gathering Information From Human Sources
22nd December 2011
Is all the information you need freely available on the web? It doesn't take long to find the answer to that question! So, how do you fill in the gaps? Well, why not try that very traditional information gathering method - having a conversation with a person. Building up relationships with experts, buyers, suppliers and even competitors can lead to tracking down vital, unpublished information which can get you ahead of the game.
This Folio brings together a range of FUMSI articles on using human sources to track down unpublished information. Find Contributing Editor Marcy Phelps has collected together, and commented on, this collection.
Table of Contents:
Editorial Introduction by Marcy Phelps, Contributing Editor, Find
