I think I'm finally coming around to understanding what librarians actually do, and why people I occasionally see people arguing for hiring librarians at companies.
It's actually really simple: any formally organized group of people produces and consumes a lot of information. The job of a librarian is to organize and maintain that information.

if your company has gotten to the point where you are paying more than $1000/mo for a wiki (confluence, sharepoint, etc) you should probably hire a librarian
