[edit] History
Library Associates was founded in 1986 by Deb Schwarz as a staffing agency specializing in law libraries.[1][2]
By 1989, it was offering technical services and serving other academic and other special libraries.[3] In 1999, Library Associates caused a stir in library circles and gained national attention when they were selected by Pillsbury Madison & Sutro LLP to manage their library operations.[4][5][6]
The company continued it's expansion into different markets with its acquisition of Medical Library Consultants (MLC) from Betsey Beamish in 2001 [7] and of Sanad Support Technologies from Jodi and Fuad Suleiman in 2003.[8] [9] With the acquisition of Sanad, Library Associates consisted of two divisions, Library Associates and Library Associates of Maryland. In 2007, the divisions were integrated and the company name was changed to Library Associates Companies.
