"Excellent overview from a librarian who clearly knows his collection and his users, and would use the best combination of strategies to get the information needed, even when that information resides outside the library.
His basic premise (which I agree strongly with): that every strategy has its trade-offs; to be a good researcher, you need to know what these trade-offs are and use a suitable combination of strategies, in a suitable order, to find the information needed."
