New book probes one of the hottest entrepreneurial opportunities of the decade

April 18, 2002, Medford, NJ — Information Today, Inc. has announced the publication of Super Searchers Make It On Their Own: Top Independent Information Professionals Share Their Secrets for Starting and Running a Research Business, by Suzanne Sabroski.

“Over the years I’ve spent researching and eventually entering this field, what I have enjoyed most is getting to know some very interesting people and learning how they combine their business and research skills to succeed as entrepreneurs,” said author Sabroski. “These are the stories of Super Searchers who have made it on their own, and who exemplify two major trends—the explosion of the Information Age and the rise of the independent professional.”

Sabroski interviewed 11 successful research entrepreneurs for the book, asking them to share their strategies for getting started in the business, developing a niche, finding clients, doing the research, networking with peers, and staying up-to-date with vital Web resources and technologies. The book, which is the tenth title in the popular Super Searchers series edited by Reva Basch, is loaded with tips and techniques for building a profitable information service.

Suzanne Sabroski is principal of Sabroski & Associates, providing general research and writing support to businesses since 1995. She has a bachelor’s degree in political science and mass communications and a master’s degree in educational media, and has served on the board of the Association of Independent Information Professionals (AIIP).
