Gather, as information (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

glean

'gather as information' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for glean that I've seen before include "Gather; collect gradually" , "Gather (grains of information?)" , "Angle (anag.)" , "Gather (information) bit by bit" , "Learn by gathering bits" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
