Outsourcable services seem to demand less case-by-case diagnosis and customization of products than in-house services. Consequently, it is advocated that corporate libraries redesign their services to accentuate those characteristics. Librarians could serve as information counselors on project work teams so as to enhance the responsiveness and flexibility of library services to their clients' needs. The implications of this service model for staffing, and developing service and quality values are discussed.
