Reinventing librarians: Part 2 - Use knowledge of resources and use to enhance the procurement process
Jinfo Article

1st November 2011

Abstract

By their very nature, librarians are good at knowing what their users need. They listen, they understand the organisation, they monitor usage of current resources, and they hear about and evaluate new resources, which puts them in an ideal position to provide valuable input to the procurement process. In Part 2 of the series on reinventing librarians, Marlene Gebauer shows how this is another way for librarians to add value.
