Big Law Firm Law Librarians As Rainmakers

I never thought of this one, but apparently some big law firm librarians are able to make some rain at their law firms or at least help in the rain dance. As the August 10, 2007 ABA Journal Blog provides:

Librarians at big law firms are spending more time on rainmaking, increasing their prominence and influence with the lawyers who employ them.

Sixty-three percent of law librarians at Am Law 200 firms say the library is the main source for marketing research and 55 percent say the library is the main resource for developing competitive intelligence, according to LawFirmInc.'s sixth annual survey.
