Law Firm Librarianship: Issues, Practice, and Directions

摘要

"What do law librarians do?". Law librarianship represents a highly specialised area of the library and information services (LIS) profession. While many law librarians work in academic law libraries, government department libraries, parliamentary libraries, court libraries or community legal centres, others are employed by private law firms. This book - aimed at educators, students and practitioners revisiting the foundations of law librarianship - seeks to present "a timely, comprehensive and practice-oriented view of law firm librarians and the professional environments that shape them". The key ideas therefore focus on the context, tools and skills required for effective practice in private law firm library. The author, John Azzolini, is referred to as "a reference librarian at a leading global law firm in the USA".
