Abstract

As the corporate world becomes increasingly entwined with technological change and information systems, it is vital to examine the role of the information intermediary within such a context. The role of the trained information professional intermediary, whether a reference librarian, special librarian, on-line searcher or researcher, come under continual scrutiny as the corporate world undergoes radical transformation. This paper reports on a study which examines the role of the information professional within the library of a major academic business library. It has been observed that Wall Street functions almost entirely on information (Baldwin & Rice, 1997). Technology and the increasing need for a global perspective have challenged traditional corporate assumptions as the task of the contemporary business employee increasingly demands obtaining and working with information. In business environments, where the overriding goal is the economic progress of the company, information seeking must take place in rapidly changing, complex situations. The new business professional is not just someone familiar with the latest in management techniques. It is someone able to obtain, absorb and synthesize relevant information.
