BUILDING WITH VISION: The birth of Concordia University School of Law and George R. White Law Library

摘要

Alibrary is more than a building. It is a collection of resources, opportunities, knowledge, and learning. It is a refuge, a place of quiet contemplation, and, at many law schools, the center of the student experience. A good library is defined by many factors: quality staff, strong service orientation, and depth and breadth of materials that address the educational and scholarly needs of the law school community. Increasingly, the library lives outside of physical space or time. With greater emphasis on electronic resources, parts of the library collection are accessible at all times. However, the foundation of any library, the tapestry upon which the whole library is built, and the place where scholars, students, librarians, and materials reside, rests within the physical walls of the library building.
