[Sigia-l] Corporate Librarians?

[James Melzer]

In general corporate librarians go by the title 'special librarians' -
meaning basically that they are librarians in a special context, like
corporations, governments, etc. Their experience and training makes
them highly specialized subject matter experts and researchers.  They
have a professional organization - the SLA - http://www.sla.org. Their
website says they have 12,000 members in 83 countries.
