Study up at Law Libraries and Librarians
Posted by laurao on August 21, 2008 – 9:00 am

If your image of a librarian is one of an older woman with a tightly wound bun who shushes people constantly, then think again. Being a librarian is hip these days! Law librarians are trading advice, stories and new ideas on the Law Libraries and Librarians network.

Just what kind of issues are the law librarians of the world thinking about? Hint: It isn’t how to best tell unruly lawyers to talk with their inside voices. They’re discussing covering trials on Twitter, creating a great Web presence and how to reach law students on Second Life. It’s certainly a long way away from the Dewey decimal system. If you don’t know where to start, check out the groups page, where librarians can meet up with like-minded professionals.

If you are a law librarian (or a friend of a law library), forget any objections and and join Law Libraries and Librarians today!

Excellent news!! Jim's work has inspired me to create other library related NING sites (for the Texas SLA group, and for Competitive Intelligence). I wouldn't have thought to do such a project if it weren't for seeing the wealth of knowledge that Jim has brought together here!
