‘Value-added’ information services are those services which have an added value to the original, in order to make them more useful for the users. These are the services or products that are provided in a collated, refined and convenient form to make them readily usable by the users. These are different from services offered in routine manner and are treated as special.
The main disadvantage of a value added information system or a service is its high cost of production and delivery, which may not be affordable to all users.
