• Resumen

  • Too often, organizations and the public consider properly trained Library staff as ¿overhead,¿ or even "dead weight." Budget crunches and the ¿I¿ll just Google it¿ attitude prevalent today can mean a shrinking ¿ or completely eliminated ¿ library. This paper discusses how the Library staff at the Ohio Attorney General¿s Office paired the power of traditional librarian skills with Google, electronic data bases, and a variety of online ¿alert¿ systems for greatly increased outreach, effectiveness, and visibility within their organization.
