Greetings:

  I remember sometime ago learning of studies or reports, perhaps by AALL, which demonstrated a ratio of law librarians to lawyers in the legal research environment. Is anyone familiar with these studies or can refer me to them?

  My goal is to use them to help support arguments to regain slashed positions from 2001. Our department's annual report just bragged about hiring 43 new attorneys, so I believe it is time to recover the library positions. If anyone has suggestion on framing the arguments, I would appreciate any input.

  Thank you.

  Scott Burgh
  Chief Law Librarian
  City of Chicago Department of Law Library
