Don't end up on the TIP

Sue Myburgh warns that traditional information professionals (TIPs) have become an endangered species. Tracey Caldwell looks at her theories and predictions

This book has an intriguing subtitle: "How to thrive in

the Information Age doing what you love." It also suggests that times are changing, and extinction looms unless you adapt.

Author Sue Myburgh begins The New Information Professional by constructing a definition of the old-fashioned, extinction-threatened traditional information professional, or TIP for short.

TIPs are said to continue to focus on document management while a new information society evolves around them. And they face competition from people in the many new roles in information work.
