The Law Library
During the last 20 years, enormous changes have occurred in the information industry. This has affected not only libraries, including private law libraries, but also law librarians and IT staff. As in most things, law firms were slower to adapt and, once adapting, individually chose differing paths. Most firms wait for others to be first.
