BOL Research: PA Business Central Collecting Data

2011-07-23T11:29:00.000-07:00

PA Business Central is collecting data for its 2011 Book of Lists. See more info here:

http://www.pabusinesscentral.com/2011/02/pbc-soliciting-information-for-2011-book-of-lists/

PA Business Central (PBC) collects data through a variety of means; it appears that PBC asks participants to check the printed Book of Lists, and then inform PBC via e-mail if there are any changes or corrections for the yearly update. For new companies that haven't appeared on the lists, they ask company contacts to send a survey request, to which PBC then responds with a faxed or e-mailed survey form.

It also sounds like the PBC Book of Lists project is a fairly grueling endeavor, which is the case in most markets. In PBC's own words:

"As you might expect, this issue is heavily labor intensive and requires careful collection, input and editing of a large number of facts, figures, numbers and names."

Book of Lists is a valuable resource in any market. I salute PBC for its investment in the time and labor required to produce this data rich compilation of company information.

Sacramento Book of List Mention

2010-11-29T07:47:00.000-08:00

In a story I read today in the business section of the Sacramento Bee, a daily newspaper, I found yet another reference to the Book of Lists. Again, it always surprises me to see the local daily referring to a product produced by a competitor, the local business journal. This speaks to how deeply the Book of Lists is embedded in local culture and commerce. It is a staple for those seeking jobs in any region, and that's the context for its mention here, in this article.

Read the article for yourself >>

Book of Lists gets a short mention within the article:

"I would suggest contacting architectural firms in Sacramento to ask about internship opportunities, either paid or non-paid. Even if you volunteer, you will gain experience to put on your résumé. An internship is a great way to get your foot in the door. The Book of Lists, published by the Sacramento Business Journal, provides a list of the region's top 25 architectural firms. The list provides a description, a notable project during the year and contact information for each firm. It can be found at most libraries or at a Sacramento Works Career Center."

--Sacramento Bee, "Expert Advice: Job Hunters Hard At Work, Even During Holidays," Terri Carpenter

That's yet another vote for "job searching" as the most widespread use of Book of Lists data.

Book of Lists Mentioned as Resource for Job Seekers in Cali Newspaper

2010-11-24T08:15:00.000-08:00

Daily newspapers are generally competitors of the business journals in their markets. That's why I did a double take when I found mention of the Book of Lists in a daily newspaper, the El Dorado Hills Telegraph, in California.

Check out the article >>

The article, "Job Seekers Receive Help," focuses on a free Job Forum occurring at the local Chamber of Commerce location. It discusses the benefits of attendance, and mentions details about what to expect from the program. Book of Lists is mentioned in the context of a description of a scheduled guest speaker who will be presenting a lecture on using the Book of Lists to uncover job leads. The speaker is from the Sacramento Business Journal, and works on the Book of Lists project for that publication.

You know I have feelers out all over, seeking for the slightest mention of business journal Book of Lists in any context, in any market. Many of the mentions I discover have to do with the Book of Lists as an essential tool for gaining a competitive edge in job searching.

That's yet another vote for "Job Searching" as the top category for Book of Lists usage.

Alert: Backlash - When Lists Get Chopped from the Book of Lists ...

2010-11-22T09:29:00.000-08:00

I have a pack of electric hounds. Every day I set them loose on the Internet to sniff out content relevant to Book of Lists, business journal ranked lists, and other topics related to the business publishing / data publishing niche.

This morning, my hounds dragged home fresh meat and dumped it on my porch step.

I won't say much to preface, except that the article below continues to confirm the impact of the business journal Book of Lists in any given market. The business community is watching. And when something happens, like a list gets canceled, the business community notices and responds. Sometimes violently.

The following article is an intense critique levied towards a local business journal. The trigger event for this critique was, according to the article, the fact that the business journal canceled its Web Development category of ranked lists from its Book of Lists. I found this to be an interesting and rare glimpse into the complex dynamic of business journals, their products, and their relationship with the local business community. Obviously this article showcases only one side of the issue, so keep that in mind.
