[misc.consumers] Trend information needed

gary@racine.ACA.MCC.COM (Gary Knight) (06/30/89)

	I'm involved in a futures research project and need access to lots 
of "trend" information (i.e., shifts in patterns, attitudes, behavior) with 
respect to technological, cultural, social, economic, political, ecological, 
etc., factors in the United States and the world at large.  I've found several 
sources, e.g.:  (1) periodicals such as The Futurist, (2) the Congressional 
Research Service's issue briefs, and (3) texts such as Naisbitt's Megatrends 
and Drucker's recent The New Realities.  Is there a more systematic 
approach -- perhaps a compilation of sources of trend-related information?  
If not, what are your individual recommendations as to the most productive 
sources of such information.  I appreciate your help.
