- I agree with Cynthia. We also allow consultants to use the library,
- including literature search services. It is in the company's best interest
- to provide the consultant with the best information available so that
- they can make intelligent recommendations. If we don't do it, either they
- will hire an independent information broker, muck around trying to find
- the information themselves, or simply do without the information. Any
- of these three is going to be much more expensive to the company than to
- have the library do the work.
-
- We do inform the person who hired the consultant that the consultant has
- requested the work from us and frequently send a copy of the research to
- the employee so that we don't have situtations where the consultant is
- simply repackaging the library's work.
