description The information profession has moved away from the era of answering dozens of quick reference questions in a working day. It is now not unusual to spend days, weeks, even months, working on one request. The nature of requests is more in-depth, often requiring summary and analysis, the preparation of comprehensive Watching Briefs and Summary Briefing sheets. The suite of skills required in the information profession is constantly changing. As the suite of skills is stretched and information professionals become increasingly aligned with teams or functions within the organization, there is a sense of decentralization of the library or information center.
