The September issue of the American Lawyer magazine has an interesting and informative AmLaw Tech article which concludes that electronic databases have not totally replaced books, and law libraries are still having to pay for both. The article also suggests how firm libraries are becoming more like information resource centers where librarians perform work on marketing, competitive intelligence, computer training, and knowledge management projects, in addition to traditional "library" work like legal research. While discussing firm differences in billing or not billing for librarian services and database use, the article also discusses both library and vendor contracting and pricing strategies. The article is definitely worth a read for an up-to-date look at modern law libraries.
