Extractions: Satellite Writing Centers in Academic Libraries Libraries fall into two categories as far as their association with writing centers is concerned: those like the University of Kentucky, where the library is the main location for the writing center; and those like Eastern Oregon University, which houses a satellite center with limited hours. Either way, the benefits of bringing the writing center and the library together can be great, both for the library and for the students. Hannelore Rader, dean and university librarian at the University of Louisville, reminds us that academic libraries, particularly research libraries, do need to become more involved in the teaching, research and enterprise activities of their universities if they want to remain viable and competitive in this new information environment. Outreach activities to faculty, technology, students, and others are necessary now as never before if libraries want to remain a major part in the educational enterprise and continue to be funded. Of course, writing centers within libraries must do more than bring in the studentsadding a first class coffee bar in the main library, lending laptops to students, extending library hours can accomplish that goal (Rader 4).

Extractions: by Susanna Weaver Introduction The traditional concept of library and librarian is being redefined. As libraries and information media evolve, so too will its workers. The future of information professionals is inversely proportional to their respective ability to adapt to ever-changing media in the professional environment. Non-traditional jobs for special librarians require a fearless, non-superstitious, and forward thinking mind-set coupled with an acute ability to self-promote. In order to succeed and flourish in the non-traditional environment, librarians and information professionals must be able to embrace the fluid landscape and nature of information work. This will require the adoption of new perceptions, attitudes, beliefs, and the willingness to proactively sell the organizational, research, and evaluative expertise that belongs to practitioners of library and information science. Many companies and private organizations are turning to librarians for expert skills in analyzing, evaluating, organizing, and disseminating needed information in the most accessible format. The skills and expertise of librarian and information workers becomes fully realized in the information age. We are moving from an ownership society of information to a shared network of information, and information is commodity. Often, the conversion of information to knowledge is the link between success and failure. The critical professional combination of superior finding skills and technological expertise plays an important role in the transfer of knowledge by providing people with access to the information they need and want.
