Research Rangers LLC specializes in locating, organizing, and providing reliable data to individuals, small businesses, and corporations. We understand that you have options regarding research—from using your local library (and librarian!) to querying your favorite search engine—not to mention the many competitive firms, small and large, near and far, which offer services similar to ours.
When you contract with Research Rangers LLC for a project, though, you can be certain that you are working with an owner of the company, a native of West Michigan, and an educated, caring, professional librarian. Amy Ranger takes your business seriously: she is here to help you and your company succeed.
Consider these concepts:
- Data—a symbol representing the properties of an object or event, or their environments.
- Information—inferred from data; the answers to questions beginning with who, what, when, how, why, and where.
- Knowledge—knowing how to do something; the transformation of information into instruction.
- Wisdom—an ability to increase effectiveness, or add value.
It was an obvious play on words for Amy Ranger to use her surname in conjunction with research—and so often the simple choice is also the wise choice.
Ms. Ranger is able to locate data, draw out the information, and build on what is already known—to add value to your company's bottom line.
Ms. Ranger is a skilled researcher with access to databases that are both specialized and proprietary, who will go beyond the search engines with which you are already familiar.
Ms. Ranger will provide you with the competitive intelligence you need to make relevant business decisions today. She is able to prepare current awareness information on topics you specify, provide document delivery, or perform archival and government research for you.
Additionally, Ms. Ranger is able to catalog your corporate, organizational, personal, or special library of books, music, movies or other items. As a professional cataloger in academic libraries for over six years, Amy Ranger cataloged a variety of materials, from books to realia,(2) from sound-recordings to video-recordings, from auction catalogs to annual reports.
Research Rangers LLC offers the experience, competence, and professionalism you need. Contact us today and let us discuss how we can help with your research and information needs.
