Law libraries exist today in a dynamic, fast-changing environment. Recently adopted ABA Standards are prompting law libraries to rethink collections, services, and staffing. Curricular changes, new degree programs, and the rapid cancellation of our remaining print sources are driving new approaches to collection building and space planning. A steep decline in the size of entering classes is causing a detailed re-examination of law school and law library budgets. This program will explore innovative approaches that law libraries are developing to adapt to these new realities, and will discuss opportunities for making positive programmatic changes to better support our constituents and our parent institutions in a time of dynamic professional transition.
