Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1928, law schools have been required to have a library located in a building occupied by the law school. Law school libraries, also called Academic Law Libraries, are typically characterized by direct reporting to the law school dean, budget allocation directly from the law school dean or the University's central administration, and a law library mission with a law school-centered approach. The importance of Academic Law Libraries to even the earliest law schools demonstrate their centrality to the identity of the law school and the legal profession. Since the Great Recession, centralizing the Academic Law Library with the Central Campus Library system has been a topic of interest to university administrators and law school deans. Seeking financial and operational efficiencies is a top priority for every academic institution today. This book, the first volume in a series, is a response to the number of inquiries received by deans, librarians, and other administrators at institutions whose law libraries are semi-autonomous. Recognizing the unique culture of each campus, law school, and law library, the goal of this book is to provide case studies of different academic law library structures.--Publisher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world where technology advances appear daily, deans and provosts often have questions about law libraries, their purposes, and whether technological innovations should lead to changes in library spaces, collections, and/or services. This book seeks to answer those questions, which came straight from deans, examining the factors involved in an analysis of what a community needs from their library, and demonstrating why the answer to these questions might vary from library to library.
