______________________________
At the beginning of a new year, and in the last year of the first decade
of the 21st century, it seems appropriate to think about the way our
lives, and our workplaces, have changed. For an article I hope to
publish in the Spring 2009 issue of Law Library Journal, I'm collecting
responses from law librarians on the following topic:
In these days of rapid change in the way we do everything from
circulation to cataloging to reference (in fact almost everything in
libraries has changed) what do you miss most about the way things used
to be in your law library and why?
It could be a particular reference book or a database, a way of doing
something, , or even a type of interaction you used to have with
patrons.
If you're too new to the profession to remember "the way things used to
be," is there a source or a procedure in your law library that strikes
you as the most likely to disappear within the next few years? Why?
Once I receive your responses, I will edit them into an article which I
hope will give a good picture of how law librarians are experiencing all
the changes in their libraries.
As the deadline for the spring issue is approaching soon, please send me
anything you'd like to submit by Friday, January 21. Your contribution
can be contained in the text of an email or in a separate Word or
WordPerfect document.
Thanks,
Janet
