The Changing Role of the Information Resources Professional: A Dialogue.
Hawkins, Brian L.; Battin, Patricia
CAUSE/EFFECT, v20 n1 p22-30 Spr 1997
Two higher education professionals discuss cultural issues that separate librarians and information technology professionals, and inhibit enlightened leadership as their changing roles cause professional convergence. Guiding principles for the information professional are outlined: developing oneself and a new generation of leadership; recognizing multiple audiences and information uses; and accepting the integrity of each others' concerns and strengths.
