Corporate clients' need for information
from public records runs the gamut from validating a businessperson's
credentials to gaining a competitive edge in the marketplace.
Clients might ask you to assess a potential partner's
reputation, find assets, identify ownership, affiliations or
relationships, discover activity in a certain field or geographic
region, determine consumer reaction to products or services, uncover
evidence of legal problems, or conduct research on just about
anything that pertains to doing business. Often stimulating
intellectually, such work requires attention to detail, creativity,
persistence, patience and the ability to elicit information from
people who don't know what they know. In
other words, it demands superior research skills.

Since you are reading
The
CyberSkeptic's Guide to Internet Research,
chances are you already know how to conduct research. But success in
public records research means acquiring special knowledge and honing
telephone and paper research skills. As the latest statistics
indicate, online searching will take you only so far. Sixty-five
percent of public records remain offline. Of the 35 percent online,
many contain no personally identifying information. (Public Records
Online, 5th edition, Facts on Demand Press, 2004, p. 12.)

This article explains important differences between public records,
public information and private information. It introduces select
public records databases and search techniques. It would take a book
to cover all worthwhile sources. It's a
good thing, then, that public records publisher,
BRB Publications,
Inc., offers several.
