Survey Says Law Librarians Like Their Jobs but Are Displeased With Vendors

This article in Law.com reports that law librarians like their jobs, but are unhappy with the tools they have to use and the vendors who furnish them.

Today’s law library is tightly integrated with the rest of the firm. It’s vital not only for finding case law but for finding new business, too. LawFirmInc.’s sixth annual survey of law firm librarians at Am Law 200 firms reveals that they are continuing to move beyond “traditional” library work, like legal research, and into marketing and competitive intelligence, computer training and even knowledge management projects. (Ninety-five firms participated in the survey.)
