- Abstract
The article focuses on the reevaluation of the role of the research librarian. It notes that such librarians are data analysts and business experts who contribute to company performance as they make sure that project teams perform at their peak. Many life science organizations are said to have cut back or removed their library research staff as they believe that all is free on the Internet. One benefit of employing research librarians is their ability to spot significant information sources.
