Feeding the Information Tiger

Do you want to know what is happening but really don't want to play with RSS feeds and aggregators?

You can "Set an Alert" in ABI/Inform (or any ProQuest Database) which will send you an e-mail when your topic is addressed. You get one e-mail a day for up to a year on your topic.

"ABI/INFORM Dateline is a full-text database that focuses on local and regional business news coverage of large corporations, privately held companies, local start-ups, executive profiles, marketing, finance, and industry news. It provides information not typically found in the national press sources. Topics cover subjects such as agriculture, company profiles, corporate strategies, executive profiles, financial services, high technology, manufacturing, marketing, regional business environments, retailing, and service industries.

Direct access to specific company information via Hoover's Company Capsules and Profiles can be found within full-text articles in ABI Inform Complete and ABI Inform Dateline. Links are indicated with an information icon followed by a company name. "
