Book excerpt: The 100+ page study presents highly detailed data from a survey of 66 North American law libraries, including 24 law school libraries, 19 courthouse of other government law libraries, 3 private company law libraries and 20 law firm libraries.The report helps its readers to answer questions such as: how much are law libraries currently spending and plan to spend on print forms of books, treatises, digests, loose-leaf services, directories, legal encyclopedias, journals, newspapers, magazines and more. What guides print culling philosophies? What mistakes have librarians made in their print purchasing or print reduction programs? What is the role of surveying library patrons about their print vs. online preferences? Are some areas resistant to print culling? Which ones? What has been the impact of interlibrary loan and other forms of print materials sharing on print spending and title maintenance?The study looks at both primary and secondary legal materials as well as non-legal subject materials.Just a few of the report's many findings are that:* The cumulative 2-year drop in spending on print resources from 2014-2016 by the law firms in the sample is expected to be 22.6%.* For small law firm libraries the number of subscriptions to print journals went from 66.67 to 51.67 and then to an anticipated 45 over the three year period, a cumulative 2-year drop of 32%.* Primary works accounted for a mean of 35.53% of spending on print legal materials with a median of 30% and a range of 5% to 90%.

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.
