These only my opinions and I\u2019m sure many people would beg to differ, but I\u2019m sharing my thoughts anyway!<\/p>\n<p>The biggest difference I have noticed is <b>accessibility to funds<\/b>. Though the corporate library is always finding ways to save money and stay within budget there is a little more \u201cwiggle room\u201d if the expense can be justified. Projects and new ideas are always welcome, encouraged, and given serious thought.<\/p>\n<p>Another big difference I have found is <b>copyright<\/b>. Working for a corporate library, copyright is incredibly important. In the corporate world, making a copyright mistake can cost the company a lot of money. Much of a corporate librarian\u2019s time is spent educating employees about the importance of copyright. In my experience as an academic librarian, I hardly ever had to think about copyright in my everyday duties. This is a huge difference that I am still getting used to.<\/p>\n<p>These are simply characteristics that come with working in different environments. Ultimately, all libraries have sharing information as the common goal. Comments and thoughts are welcome on this topic. I would enjoy reading what others have to say about this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Jennifer Crutchfield, Head Editor, INALJ Connecticut 2 Differences between Corporate and Academic Libraries I have been working as a corporate librarian for several months and wanted to share a couple points of comparison that I have found to be the biggest differences between a small academic library and a corporate library.
