"Internet is reducing need for information specialists"
for additional discussion on changes in the information industry &
suggestions of how information specialists can add value and stay in
the game, i suggest this article:
"Paradigms Lost: The Information Industry in 1997" by Tim Miller, in

"While it might be tempting to think that the flood of low-priced

case. Knowledge services, as opposed to disconnected bits of
information,
will be the growth market of the next decade in spite of the flood of
free
data."
