BusinessWeek library to close

TALKING BIZ NEWS EXCLUSIVE

The information services department at BusinessWeek — the library where researchers found information for reporter’s stories — is being closed as part of the magazine’s sale to Bloomberg.

Those losing jobs as of Dec. 1 are director Jamie B. Russell, deputy manager Susann Rutledge, technology manager John Cady and researchers David Polek and Susan Zegel.

In an e-mail to friends that was obtained by Talking Biz News, Russell wrote, “We’ve had a great run, and I think/hope my staff — the best in the business — will land on their feet. But it’s a tough time for all — as if you hadn’t noticed.

“Personally — I’ll be launching my new career as a textile mogul!

“Stay tuned — and thanks for all your support over the years as I’ve whined about this being imminent. If you wait long enough…:-)”

Earlier this year, The Wall Street Journal also closed its research library.
