This title is an invaluable addition to the literature on law librarianship. As a professor of library and information science, Law Librarianship in the Digital Age will be a timely resource for students studying the issues and field of law librarianship. This is a valuable textbook to introduce students to law libraries and legal information management issues. It gives a current analysis of the new information world and access to resources that users expect in their law library collections. The chapters provide an in-depth resource to the evolving challenges of the legal information profession including copyright, digital resources, databases, and the internet. -- Yvonne J. Chandler, Associate Professor and Director, Legal Information Program, University of North Texas College of Information This book covers the broad sweep of a law librarian's role in the 21st century, addressing everything from the basics of legal research to high level decision-making by law library directors. Anyone working, or aspiring to work in a law library will find it a valuable resource. -- David A. Hollander, Law and Legal Studies Librarian, Princeton University Library A must read for even the most experienced law librarians and a great addition to law librarianship literature. From open access to marketing, from tablets to competitive intelligence, there is something for everyone! Many of these chapters will make excellent reading for law librarianship courses and newly hired law librarians. Great job! -- Penny A. Hazelton, University of Washington Law Librarianship in the Digital Age is the messiah of legal reference sources that has been long awaited.
