Dear Learning-org,

... in line with my research regarding what kind of information people
are using when making decisions, does anyone know of any surveys etc on
the age of references people are using in their reports and papers?
...That is, I am looking into the time correlation between the age of
references and how often they are cited... this is an attempt to find
patterns regarding organizations' information retrieving procedures.
Patterns might not suggest the insignificance of "old" knowledge but
perhaps indicate what preferences organizations have when looking for
material.

Also, I wonder if anyone knows about sites with statistics regarding
staff turnover rates for major corporations? ....

Hope to get some interesting comments!
