Download or read book Designing a Law Library to Encourage Learning written by Lee F. Peoples and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries the traditional approach to library design has focused on allocating sufficient space for the collection, study space, and staff offices. In contrast, the process of designing a library to encourage learning begins by building institutional consensus around important learning behaviors and creating spaces that encourage those behaviors. Several university libraries have adopted the design for learning approach over the past decade. Law libraries have yet to explore this concept.The article begins with a brief historical introduction to law library design. Design for learning is introduced and discussed in the context of law libraries. Examples of how the concept can be used to ensure compliance with accreditation standards and enact reforms mentioned in the Carnegie Report are provided. Specific design traits that encourage learning by fostering collaboration and allowing students to balance the social and communal aspects of study are discussed. The article concludes with an exploration of how high quality law library spaces can increase enrollment and encourage generous alumni support.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first edition introduced the busy library director to the overall process of working with architects and building committees and contained chapters on general design preparation and space requirements for library operations and services. The second edition updated the original work and addressed innovations in libraries and completely revised the chapter on special collections space. This third edition reorganizes and expands upon some of the topics touched upon in the second edition and also informs the reader about more recent design concepts based on student learning habits and evolving space requirements, such as "libraries without walls," and "libraries as placeholders." Today librarians, architects and interior designers must reexamine existing spaces to see how they can be improved to function better and attract more patrons. Libraries must become friendlier and use space more efficiently. These concepts, although not new, deserve more discussion, particularly among less well informed architects, deans and law school faculty. Readers will find refreshed materials in the appendices: an updated annotated bibliography, organized by chapter topic; an updated list of naming opportunities; additional suggestions for preparing a needs assessment, and a brief overview of past ABA design conferences.--Publisher.

Download or read book Law Library Collection Development in the Digital Age written by Gordon Russell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the digital revolution has touched every aspect of law librarianship, perhaps nowhere has the effect been more profound than in the area of collection development. Many of the materials law libraries traditionally collected in print form are now available in electronic format. Digital technology has affected the way we select, order, and process legal materials. The World Wide Web has created an explosion of both commercial and private online publishing. The cost of electronic publishing has caused many traditional law book publishers to sell their companies rather than invest in the needed technologies to compete in the 21st century. Small publishers and book jobbers have been forced to reinvent themselves. The amount of legal information available and its costs continue to soar. Law Library Collection Development in the Digital Age deals with these and other issues related to law library collection development. Chapters range from the theoretical to the practical. Inspired by Penny Hazleton’s seminal paper “How Much of Your Print Collection is Really on Lexis or Westlaw?” the editors and chapter authors of Law Library Collection Development in the Digital Age endeavor to expand on professor Hazleton’s work, with examinations of: the role of law libraries in strategic planning for distance learning Web mirror sites trust vs. antitrust issues access vs. ownership issues how law libraries deal with electronic court records, dockets, and filings the growth of e-journals as they relate to legal publishing how the Hein Greenslips and Blackwell North America’s Bookservice cover legal materials past, present, and future roles of specialized book jobbers and more! Anyone interested in law librarianship or the information industry will find this book informative and useful. Make it a part of your professional collection today.

Book excerpt: "Intended for pre-law and paralegal students, this second edition is a revised and refreshed version of the successful first edition of Introduction to Legal Research and Writing, with updated legal research exercises throughout. This book is designed to be the only one the student and the professor need for legal research and legal writing. It is designed to provide a clear explanation of basic information, with exercises to give the student the necessary practice in researching and writing and accompanying sample legal writing documents. The text is user friendly and readable while balancing the need for detail. Each chapter covers only a manageable amount of material for someone who has not previously studied the law. The objectives of the legal research portion of the book teach the student how to competently perform legal research in the law library and online, use correct citation form, and understand the fundamentals of legal research. The objectives of the legal writing portion of the book are to explain the fundamentals of legal analysis and writing, teach the student how to communicate clearly, and demonstrate how to eliminate mechanical errors. The appendices provide additional information that the instructor can incorporate into the class as needed. For example, Appendix B, "Locating and Citing to Cases," can be covered in conjunction with Chapter 4, and Appendix C, "Rules for Quotations and Short Form Citations," can be introduced when students are completing legal writing assignments"--

Download or read book Better by Design written by Ayub Khan and published by Facet Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Libraries today are faced with rapidly shifting populations of users with differing needs, who require a range of new communications links that are transforming our concept of the library space. This developing role has created a set of new and complex challenges for those delivering library services. There is no such thing as the 'perfect' library building. However, a well designed building will enable a project both to gain local acceptance more easily and to ease the process of securing planning permission. It also needs to be cost effective to run, support the organization's objectives well, offer an improved service to the user and make an impact on the community. This much-needed book takes as its starting point the fact that few architects know very much about libraries, and fewer librarians know about architectural planning and designing. It steers a clear path for library managers through the language and processes that they need to understand as members of a team overseeing the planning of a new library building project, major refurbishment or remodelling of an existing library. Key topics include: twenty-first century libraries developing a business case project management the design/project team selecting an architect partnership and community engagement the design brief design quality space planning and access occupancy and post-occupancy evaluation building libraries for the future. Appendices offer top tips and checklists, together with a glossary of common terms used within the construction environment to help further de-mystify the design process for librarians. Readership: This practical and accessible book is an invaluable guide not only for new entrants to the library profession, but also for experienced practitioners who are approaching for the first time the important task of creating a new library or major refurbishment of existing facilities. It will also be of great relevance to architects unfamiliar with library building requirements.
