dc.descriptionOne of the most difficult questions asked of the corporate librarian/information professional is “what is the value of this service to the business?” Past responses have included the usual array of basic statistics or number of customers or even some anecdotal evidenceen_US
dc.description.abstractThe authors briefly survey the literature of the past twenty-five years on survival and sustainability of corporate libraries and the ongoing confluence of forces challenging information professionals working in them to demonstrate how they contribute to their employer’s organizational goals. The question posed throughout the period reviewed remains the same: Despite warnings that if they don’t act dire consequences will result; why aren’t information professionals taking the lead in aggressively demonstrating how they contribute to their organization’s success? ____________________________________________________en_US
