CIC03: CI Published Source Collection: Managing the Function
This online course continues the exploration of the functions of the Intelligence Process/Cycle with Published Source Collection (aka literature research or secondary research). We will focus on managing the function by examining: differences between intelligence literature research and general business research; types of intelligence literature research; specific requirements and considerations for intelligence research; how to design literature research projects to support analytical requirements; and how to structure and manage the intelligence information center, its resources and efforts. Throughout, we will consider the variety of literature resources used in CI: print, fee-based content and Web resources.

Course Dates: 5 March 2007 – 23 March 2007 [3 weeks – week 3 is an open period]
Credit from this course may be applied to each of the three CI Certificates. For more details, please visit: CI Certificates

An Important Note: While the primary goal in developing these programs is to allow SLA members to earn one or more certificates, each of these courses has inherent value. Members who are not pursuing a Competitive Intelligence Certificate may take any course à la carte.
