The IALL International Handbook of Legal Information Management
Ashgate Publishing, July 2011, Pages: 75
Around the world, legal information managers, law librarians and other legal information specialists work in many settings: law schools, private law firms, courts, government, and public law libraries of various types. They are characterized by their expertise in working with legal information in its many forms, and by their work supporting legal professionals, scholars, or students training to become lawyers.
In an ever-shrinking world and a time of unprecedented technological change, the work of legal information managers is challenging and exciting, calling on specialized knowledge and skills, regardless of where in the world they practice their profession. Their role within legal systems contributes substantially to the administration of justice and the rule of law.
This International Handbook addresses the policy and strategic issues with which legal information managers and law librarians need to engage in the context of the diverse legal environments in which they work. It provides resources, analysis, and considered studies on an international basis for seasoned professionals, those about to enter the field, and anyone interested in the evolution of legal information in the twenty-first century.
Reviews:
'I warmly welcome the publication of this book. A diverse and international group of leading experts has provided professional legal information managers with a definitive guide to the central issues of policy and strategy that are of direct concern to the progressive law librarian (and to the legal profession) of tomorrow. The book is not only for the traditional law librarian but will also engage legal information scientists, know-how managers, legal process analysts, legal management consultants, legal knowledge engineers, and many other related specialists. In this heady time of astounding flux, we need - and this book gives us - sober, balanced minds systematically addressing the implications of recent and emerging developments in technology and information management.'
-- From the Foreword by Professor Richard Susskind, OBE.
