The information commissioner's report and the latest research from recruitment specialist TFPL make it clear that we need to re-appraise the role of information professionals.
Although a wide range of people can now be classified as information professionals, few have set foot in a library since university, let alone qualified as a librarian. Instead, reputation managers, accountants, PR executives, civil servants and business managers are making crucial decisions on information, including what information is acquired, and how and why it is used.
Whether you publish e-books or information magazines, develop software or provide training, the challenge is to broaden the church, invite everyone in, and ensure that everyone who manages information in your organisation knows about the content you have and how to utilise it. Restricting content to narrow bands of job titles such as librarian or information professional simply hides your talents under a bushel.
