According to this excerpt from Best Practices: Reinventing the Corporate Library, “The most successful librarians follow three best practices: 1) spend strategically on resources and staff; 2) make effective content delivery the mission; and 3) redefine information to include history and people.”

But you have to pay $499 (risk free!) to see more than just the outline from this ‘research’.

  • Knowledge Workers Founder When They Lack High-Quality Information. The definition of ‘founder’ is to fall or sink. so – bad information = submersed librarian?  Kidding aside, I hope this part acknowledges that most likely everyone is affected by poor-quality information.
  • Yet Corporate Librarians Face Information Resource Management Barriers. Yes, most professionals face challenges. Even librarians.
  • How Workers Get The Information They Need – Interwebz and phone. Sometimes interpersonal communication.
  • Librarians Must Evolve To Meet New Demands. Yes!

The rest of the outline is devoted to the best practices and other resources on the topic. I’d be interested in reading more about these topics if access to the information didn’t cost as much as an iPad.
