About

Bruce Rosenstein of the USA TODAY library discusses the current state of special libraries in the United States, focusing on trends, threats, opportunities and the impact of e-resources and technology. He also examines the personal qualities necessary for today's special librarian to succeed. These librarians must consider the implications of working for libraries affiliated with institutions that can close or drastically change at a moment's notice. Other points include the challenges of working in information-rich but time-poor environments, dealing with demanding, highly knowledgeable patrons and the need to answer a key question: what can you do differently and better than your clients, who may think they can get their own information without the need of a librarian?
