Every chemist needs to be a literature chemist to some extent. There is probably no argument about this until the extent is defined. Even if the laboratory chemist is to be helped by a technical librarian or professional literature chemist and maybe by a technical report writer and editor too, he needs to know what kinds of information the library can supply, and how long it takes to get various kinds of information. Nobody is likely to appreciate the kind and amount of work involved in preparing a bibliography on, say, chlorophyll, until he has put together some bibliographies himself.
