The information services developed to serve the needs of financial services and investment banking information users have evolved rapidly in recent years as the way in which such information is used has changed. Users want to take content from a variety of sources, combine and integrate it into their own working tools and portals and not be constrained by vendors’ predetermined formats. Investment banking information services have moved from a situation where most information retrieval took place via an intermediary and had a significant hard copy component to one where users typically do a good deal of their own searching and retrieval using electronic sources. Examines what investment banks do for their clients, the major drivers for change in the industry that might affect information professionals and the implications of this for the information services. Specific aspects of information provision cover: information use in banks; delivery of financial information; and new trends in information distribution (including Application Programmable Interfaces (APIs)). Concludes that it will require a greater effort on the part of the workforce in this sector to meet the information needs of their users and a more substantial evolution of their professional skills than has recently been demanded. If managers fail to lead their organizations in the right direction by reacting to these changes, then they are likely to see their role diminish.
