Some databases are developed off-shore using assembly type procedures to collect information. At SIRS, our databases are carefully selected and have been acquired over many years so that an issue can be followed through its entire timeframe. You can get the complete story about thousands of issues with all of their ramifications. Our researchers actively seek out the articles that represent all sides of an issue. The articles must be interesting, well-written and credible.
Some databases are little more than clipping services.
SIRS has a staff of librarians and teachers who undergo extensive training. Their task is to seek the best articles from any source to comprehensively describe all aspects of an issue. Some databases are developed for purely commercial reasons. The companies are maximizing profit often because they must satisfy stockholders or maintain a large infrastructure. SIRS Researcher emerged from a teaching environment and is dedicated to the pursuit of quality information.
