New book is a unique resource for those who use the Internet and online services to research M&A opportunities

April 4, 2001, Medford, NJ — Information Today, Inc. has announced the publication of Jan Davis Tudor’s new book, Super Searchers on Mergers & Acquisitions: The Online Secrets of Top Corporate Researchers and M&A Pros. The book features Tudor’s interviews with 13 Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) researchers who use the Internet to find, evaluate, and deliver deal-making data on companies and industries.

With worldwide M&A activity breaking records every year, growth-oriented companies are increasingly interested in monitoring market and industry trends, tracking mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, investigating strategic partners and investments, and valuing businesses that are being bought or sold. Super Searchers on Mergers & Acquisitions is the first book to showcase the online strategies and sources used by experienced information professionals in the M&A field, including business librarians, valuation researchers, appraisers, and database specialists. 

In addition to the 13 expert interviews, the book includes a directory of Net-based M&A information resources, a glossary, a bibliography, and an index. The Foreword is by Martin Sikora, editor of Mergers & Acquisitions: The Dealmaker’s Journal, who said, “Jan Davis Tudor has assembled nothing less than the complete compendium of M&A information sources. Its value is incalculable.”

Super Searchers on Mergers & Acquisitions is the sixth title in the "Super Searchers" series from CyberAge Books (an imprint of Information Today, Inc.), edited by noted cybrarian Reva Basch. As with all series titles, the new book is supported by “The Super Searchers Web Page” (www.supersearchers.com), which provides readers with hyperlinked access to all the Internet sources recommended in the book.
