Just a note of thanks to all who responded to my inquiries about
disposing of large sets of books, both serious and in jest.
A quick summary of the advice I received:
Sources for possible donation include local theater co's, movie studios
(if you live in LA or NY), prisons & jails, wall board co's for
recycling, community colleges, public libraries, going away gifts for
summer associates, etc., and, of course, coffee tables and door stops.
Got a lot of offers, including ones from Guam, Australia and Israel.
As it turns out, however, we're experiencing lawyer backlash against
automated research. Surveys and focus groups at our firm have revealed
that our attys strongly favor print versions of most material, except
the older lesser used reporters. We're not a PC phobic firm, and we
have many CDs; the lawyers just don't feel they provide the same quality
& breadth of research.
Has anyone else run into this? Would love to hear from you.
