INFORMATION MANAGEMENT PROFESSIONALS AND PROGRAMS IN U.S. ARCHITECTURE FIRMS by Lynne M. Kemmer This research study identifies an active population of librarians and information management (EVI) professionals and describes library and EVI programs in architectural design firm offices in the United States. The levels of education, job titles, and duties of the professionals managing and assisting with the libraries and IM programs are clarified. Designated spaces, budgets, resources, systems, services, evaluation, and communication methods for the libraries and IM programs, are determined. The information needs of management and employees in the architecture firms are specified. The support materials the librarians and IM professionals utilize to administer their library and IM program's resources and services are ascertained. Librarians and IM professionals discuss whether they feel the existing professional literature, training materials, and other sources support their architectural EVI work. Recent downturns in the economy have adversely affected the presence of employed librarians and existence of libraries in architectural design firm offices. Nonetheless, surges in design firm revenue in the past combined with the development of new technologies and a lack of current research and data on this special library population make this study timely and significant. Being exploratory in nature, however, the findings should be considered as setting the stage for further research in this special sphere of library work. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Very special thanks to Dr. Debbie Hansen for jumping in and filling the role of thesis chair in my 11th hour. Without Debbie's unwavering support this thesis would not have been completed with the same level of usefulness. I want to also thank my other thesis committee members who have all contributed to the development of this study over time: Dr. Charlotte Ford, Dr. Lili Luo, Professor Joe Matthews, and Dr. Sue Alman. My most heartfelt gratitude goes to my family who has supported me through this process, and the long and winding road of obtaining my MLIS. Finally, a thank you to all of those behind the scenes in Graduate Studies and the School of Library and Information Science at San Jose State who facilitated this research process along the way, and who also believed it would be a meaningful contribution to the library field.
