I actually wrote a similar article (more anecdotal, though; no stats)
for PR Tactics several years ago. Same principles apply--but that
doesn't mean that the lesson will sink in. People don't realize that
their time costs money, and I don't think articles like this have much
of an impact.

And I agree with Rita. :-)

(And yes, I did intend to send this to the list.)

Great article, but too bad that the folks from Factiva, who make piles
of
money selling their products to special libraries, didn't bother to
mention
libraries or information professionals anywhere in the article. If they

had, now THAT would have been something to show off!
