"Park has created a useful tool, especially for decision-makers. . . . She is concerned about the attention given to technology rather than to content, and believes that strong information skils are key to wading through the vast amount of content the technology finds for us."
--Webforia Research Center, Industry Profiles, 1999
"Finding and using information isn't as simple as typing in a few words into a search engine and hoping for the best. The Business Journal talked to Mary Woodfill Park . . . to show how successful executives use information."
--Ruth E. Thaler-Carter, Contributing Writer, Baltimore Business Journal, March 19, 1999
"InfoThink is a book I would highly recommend to anyone who needs to find and use good information in today's working environments. The seventeen articulate and knowledgeable people Park has interviewed provide their different perspectives (their "infothink") on how they gather and convert information to action.
 
As a computer teacher, I know that this book is valuable because it deals with information content, not just information technology. It provides insights into methodologies and processes that professionals use to make their decisions. "
--Carol Hicks, Amazon.Com Customer Comments, January 15, 1999
"I was impressed at the variety and quality of the people Park interviewed. These are professionals who understand how they use information, and many of them are what could be described as real power-searchers. In addition, they are able to articulate how theyidentify gaps in their knowledge, what they do to meet their needs, and how they translate information into action."
--Mary Ellen Bates, Information Today, November 1998 [Abstract of Article]
"InfoThink attempts to cover an ambitious subject: how information is used by businesses. . . . Park is a skilled interviewer, an excellent writer, and has a firm grasp of the big picture. . . .Congratulations to Park on her success in this ambitious undertaking."
--Mary McCarty, Director of Research and Internet Services, Edelman Public Relations, Business Information Alert, July/August 1998
