Subject: [LAW-LIB:59804] West thinks you shouldn't know your librarian's
name
I received an email from West this morning, asking and answering the
following question:
"Are you on a first name basis with the librarian?
If so, chances are, you're spending too much time at the library. What
you need is fast, reliable research you can access right in your office.
And all it takes is West(r)."
I object to a marketing campaign that takes this approach. It's
offensive to me on many levels, some of which are professional and
others of which are based on a view of community that includes leaving
your office and interacting with colleagues - especially those who may
be knowledgeable in areas that you're not.
Did anyone else receive this? Do you find it objectionable or am I
being overly sensitive?
