Yes, as immortalized in "Tania" on Camper Van Beethoven's "Our Beloved 
Revolutionary Sweetheart." (Dating myself -- but the 80's at least. 
Fortunately no one sings that song to me anymore.)

To put forth a pretense of contributing to the thread -- I would say 
using the phrase corporate librarians is common when trying to single 
out business librarians who work for businesses (as opposed to academic 
or public libraries.) Even the SLA (the slightly less radical 
organization) posts this quote:

"Corporate Librarian" is one of the top three hot jobs for 2003-2004
  Challenger, Gray & Christmas, Inc., August 2003

Although I've known a few librarians who work for an entity that we 
would categorize as being part of "special libraries," I don't think 
I've ever heard one of them refer to themselves as a "special 
librarian." But maybe they just waited until I left the room.
