Abstract
The author discusses the results of Business Information Review’s 25th Business Information Survey, commenting from a US perspective. Trends in providing value-added deliverables, working with data, working with vendors, open access and open-source resources, technology, mobile access, skills, and hiring are highlighted. The article concludes that trends in business information services in the US and UK are closely aligned and that we must continue to look for opportunities to add value to business information services. The US/UK use of non-English language sources, acting on the big data opportunity, the importance of information technology enablers, and user-centric design appear as areas of potential difference.
