Fact Files

The internet has a wealth of information, but knowing where to find it, or which site to believe, is often difficult. To assist students we have developed a range of Fact Files on topics as diverse as Data Protection, Newsletters & E-zines, Quotes, Market Research, and many more. For a list of available Fact Files please email library@cim.co.uk with ‘Fact File list’ in the subject line.
