Guy St. Clair (born 1940) is an American librarian and knowledge management professional. He founded the One-Person Librarian newsletter, coining the term "one-person librarian",[1] now referred to as solo librarianship. He is a past-president (1991–1992) of the Special Libraries Association (SLA). He was awarded SLA’s Professional Award in 1989 and was named to SLA's Hall of Fame in 2010. He is currently the president and consulting specialist for knowledge services for SMR.
In addition to his work with SMR, Guy St. Clair is a lecturer and special adviser to the M.S. in Information and Knowledge Strategy program at Columbia University in New York, NY.
His latest book is SLA at 100: From “Putting Knowledge to Work” to Building the Knowledge Culture. St. Clair traces the story of the SLA and in the last two chapters and epilogue of the book, offers his opinions and predictions about the role of specialized librarianship for the future, emphasizing the service-delivery connections between specialized librarianship and knowledge management.
