Law Librarians and their Evolving Role as Information Technology Managers

Overview In law firms whose practices span numerous areas and jurisdictions, there is a tremendous volume of pertinent resources available to facilitate research. Managing this information, which may be available in hard copy, CD-ROM, the Internet, intranets, online database services, government sponsored dial-up bulletin board systems, e-mail and push technology, is a substantial enterprise.

Essential factors in the efficient administration of these resources include evaluating the considerable costs of information resources, determining the quality of their content, specifying required hardware and software interfaces, designing and allocating space to house associated staff and support services, and developing short and long term plans to utilize these resources in a competitive and quickly changing environment.
