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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e the role of law libraries in strategic planning for distance learning \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Web mirror sites \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e trust vs. antitrust issues \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e access vs. ownership issues \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e how law libraries deal with electronic court records, dockets, and filings \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e the growth of e-journals as they relate to legal publishing \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e how the Hein Greenslips and Blackwell North America’s Bookservice cover legal materials \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e past, present, and future roles of specialized book jobbers \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e and more! \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnyone interested in law librarianship or the information industry will find this book informative and useful.
