Give the Gift of a Librarian
A solo librarian colleague pointed out this column from the business magazine Inc about corporate gifts. It provides alternate holiday gift suggestions that are more meaningful that stereotypical corporate schwag. Among the suggestions: a good restaurant or two near the office, windows for everyone, excellent technical people, and:
"A librarian. Yes, I know, much of what you need is available online and your staff Googles with the best of them. Still, corporate librarians operate with a level of nuance and finesse that technology can’t match. They can uncover sources so obscure as to be practically nonexistent. And they know what’s what–they not only tell people what is known but also warn them what isn’t."
How excellent! A practical gift that keeps on giving!
