Law librarians work with a broad group of professionals to facilitate access to legal and legal-related information. They aptly use new and emerging technologies to navigate the vast array of resources, delivering quality information in a reliable and efficient manner. This article provides a profile of the law librarian as a legal resource specialist and educator, and an overview of their indispensable partnership with attorneys, faculty, judges and others in the delivery of legal resources.
Whether working as an academic, or in a firm, governmental agency, corporate, county or other law library, law librarians are in the business of helping others locate information that is reliable, authenticated and oftentimes difficult to find. Providing reference services in person, by email, phone or in the classroom, they are focused on contributing to the overall mission of obtaining and delivering required resources. Managing collections is no longer the librarian’s main objective. Rather, librarians enable others. Clients know they can rely on law librarians to work smarter, leverage their collective wisdom, and respond to information questions with speed and efficiency.
