Applying Traditional Librarianship to New Roles for Special Librarians [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
While the core values of libraries have not changed significantly over the years, the specific roles they play within their communities have expanded and evolved and will continue to do so. Just as public libraries have moved books to make way for labs and 3D printers, as academic libraries have formed information commons and digital repositories, and as school libraries have morphed into media centers, so has a major shift occurred in special libraries. In many organizations, traditional library roles like maintaining print collections and performing literature searches have disappeared entirely. Flexible librarians have survived and even thrived by assuming new roles and responsibilities. Far too many special libraries, though, have failed to adapt or failed to adapt quickly enough to major changes in the way organizations operate and subsequently found themselves closed. This article discusses how special librarians can apply traditional librarianship to new roles. Adapted from the source document.
