The Information Unit's Contribution to Industry
Abstract
The role of libraries and librarians in industry is changing rapidly. This is the Information Age in which information transfer is all‐important. The implications for librarians are that there will be a gradual understanding by others of the importance of the librarian's role. The way in which this role is carried out will change with more emphasis on technology. Industry will look to the librarian to improve the quality, relevance and timeliness of the information. The challenge is for creative thinking in a rapidly moving environment. The opportunities come from the rapidly growing awareness of the role of information in industry and from the accelerating technological developments.
