Seattle Times Highlights Special Librarians
The Seattle Times gives an excellent introduction to special librarianship in this article from their Sunday paper. They give a brief overview of programs offered by the Unviersity of Washington’s iSchool and include many quotes from Dan Trefethen, a librarian at Boeing, whom I’ve met through the Special Libraries Association. (Yes, he’s the Dan who’s running for a Director position with that association.)
One of his quotes: “[Librarianship is] becoming more and more technically oriented. We are trying to get away from the image of the musty, old collection of books and get people to understand that we are part of the information revolution and, in many cases, leading it.”
