alt-lib Suggests: Strategic Marketing Manager, Practice of Science Job - Philadelphia PA, 19019- Thomson Reuters

AGAIN, this is such a perfect position for any librarian who has managed a library where Web of Knowledge was part of the suite of online services offered.

IMHO, that would be **many** of us... at least those of us who were involved in putting end-user accessible online information services together, 'round about ten years ago.

With so many "free" alternatives encroaching on it's traditional end-user market, WoK is in trouble now, and needs our input. I hope a librarian gets this position. - alt-lib
