‘A Day in My Law Library Life,’Circa 2018

摘要

1 What happens in a day in your life as a legal information professional? How does your day compare to other law librarians'? And how does it compare to what you or other librarians did months or years ago, or might do in the future?2 In 1997, Frank Houdek gathered responses to the request, "Describe a single day in your law library life." Houdek published the compilation of descriptions as "'A Day in My Law Library Life,' Circa 1997."1 He also compiled excerpts from earlier articles by law librarians into a companion piece, "Day in the Law Library Life, Circa 1910-1920."3 "A Day in the Life" wasn't a new concept in 1997. An article ten years earlier centered on "a day in the life" of one law librarian. Another pre-1997 piece described a week in the life; and a third piece encompassed, in effect, a month in the life.
