This book provides a broad scope for research to take the frustration out of not being able to locate what you want, not just by country or region, but how to pinpoint and access reliable information on a global scale. Other issues that will be addressed are Know-Your-Customer issues, corruption and terrorism and some of the new Web2.0 technologies that go with decent research techniques. The information provided draws upon the authors' real-life scenarios during her varied career. The author has been a long term user of many of the authoritative sites that are shown as examples. Practical pointers are provided for ways to recognise new resources. Pointers are provided on what data you can find for free, provided by the proprietary databases, and gives examples of what you can get without paying GBPs. It includes examples of what you can locate by lurking on discussion lists, and blogs and how to use RSS feeds without breaking copyright and how to quote your sources.
