Librarian vs. MIS

     I'm wondering about views and experiences about the leadership of law
     firm library functions. I understand that some large law firms have
     appointed people with MIS backgrounds as administrators with
     responsibility over library functions, budgeting and decision making.
     Should the MIS and library functions be combined? If so, how can we
     collaborate and who should lead. Content without context is useless
     and vice-versa. How we can librarians retain control over our
     functions in light of new technologies and claims by MIS people that
     they are more relevant?
