information broker

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

information broker

An individual who searches for information for clients. Information brokers use various resources including the Internet, online services that specialize in databases, public libraries, books and CD-ROMs. They also make plain old fashioned telephone calls. The word "broker" is a misnomer. Information retrieval consultant would be more accurate. Sue Rugge and Alfred Glossbrenner wrote an excellent book on the subject, "The Information Broker's Handbook," published by McGraw-Hill (ISBN 0-07-057870-2). See Web search engines and online service.
