Is there anything more exciting than solving a mystery? To me, answering a business research question gives me a thrill that brings me back to reading my favorite mysteries curled up on the couch.The excitement of finding answers started for me when I first discovered mysteries like Nancy Drew and Sherlock Holmes. Watching fictional detectives unravel problems fascinated me. That same curiosity led me to a master’s degree in library & information science and a career as an information professional. With over 15 years’ experience of using and learning specialized commercial databases and government sources, and having worked independently and collaboratively with a virtual team, I am primed to:-Find and share accurate information so you can solve business problems-Assess data sources for content and usability-Show you the shortcuts🔹PHILOSOPHYMaking information easy to find and understand ---> getting you to the "good stuff".Sharing sources that could best answer a question - whether it is a proprietary database, Census program, trade association, or news search. Collaborating on solutions and approaches to get to solutions because nobody should be struggling or spinning their wheels looking for information or searching a database. 🔹WHAT I BRING TO THE TABLESearching for information and using databases is like discovering a gold mine! Learning content details, search capabilities, and data source is intriguing. How the interface works or doesn't work and how data can or can't be downloaded can make or break a search or searcher. It is important to know not only what data is available but how to access it. 🔹LET’S CHATI would like to connect with business researchers, info pros, and mystery fans - especially cosy mysteries - (Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries!). Please send me a LinkedIn message.
