The demand for corporate librarians and information managers is rising steadily -- information professionals who manage a company's information resources, including "best practices." Another new avenue is corporate intelligence to support the company's efforts to stay competitive. Mandy Baldridge of the information-management staffing company InfoCurrent explains: "We don't just live in the traditional four walls of the library anymore. We've made ourselves necessary to the organization so we can be in many different areas of the organization." Demand for corporate librarians is expected to grow. The out-placement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas says that the average annual salary of a corporate librarian is $60,000-$65,000, which is higher than the salaries of librarians overall. Challenger Gray predicts more than 100,000 new jobs for corporate librarians between 2000 and 2010.
