The practice of collecting this information is not new; in fact, in the early 1990s, the Deputy Director of the CIA asserted that over 80% of CIA analysis came from open-source information. Maps, phone books, printed materials, news reports, and other forms of content can provide a lot of information if one knows where and how to look.
