I'm very much hoping to be a specialist librarian for exactly this reason. Still, at the senior researcher level, surely the researchers aren't dealing with the vast mass of the information world, but with very specifically polled for information which they've requested.

On the other hand, they only know how to poll for that information is the academic and specialist academic librarians have taught them when they were undergraduates in graduate students. Hmm, interesting... I'm so used to thinking of tenured professors as hatched from the egg fully formed, like cranky absent-minded Athenas in tweed jackets from the head of Zeus.
