Career Journal reports rising needs for corporate librarians

Both Darci Chapman and Katie have been reading Career Journal:

Corporate librarians are seeing demand for their services increase from last year’s rock-bottom levels.

As 2003 has progressed, recruiters say they’ve been filling more openings for mid- to upper-level corporate librarians than in 2002, when headcounts in corporate information centers were being reduced. Some of the hiring is for librarians to work in such industries as biotechnology that weren’t badly hurt by the recession. Other librarians are being recruited to replace staff members who were laid off to cut costs during the downturn.
