Abstract
Information brokerages are operated by entrepreneurs or under the aegis of larger organizations. The UNLV library has established two such services. In spite of careful planning and a demand for business and legal information, the first venture was unsuccessful. The second venture is doing very well. An examination of these two cases provides lessons for future endeavors.
