David E. McBee [Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Washington, DC] wrote on his blog, Library Buzz, “In library school I had a professor, Neal Kaske, who was then head of the Engineering Library. He asked us why library students were always asked to work on team projects—was it just to annoy us? He pointed out that in the sciences [and business, too] there were always teams working together on projects. Each person has a specialty though there is often some overlap. People would conduct their research as a part of the team effort. Now, most library students come from a liberal arts background where folks tend to study and research on their own. So, part of library school is designed to teach us how to work as part of team.” This may become less important in the future, since the upcoming generations have been working in teams since grade school.
