Law Librarianship Practice
Editat de Ellyssa Kroskien Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 oct 2025
Considerăm că experiența vastă a editorului Ellyssa Kroski, în calitatea sa de Director de Inovație și Implicare la New York Law Institute, conferă acestui volum o autoritate incontestabilă în domeniul științei informației. Cartea nu este doar un manual teoretic, ci o sinteză a transformărilor radicale prin care trec bibliotecile juridice în era post-pandemice, marcată de trecerea spre munca hibridă și integrarea inteligenței artificiale generative. Notăm cu interes modul în care lucrarea se raportează la opera anterioară a editorului; dacă în Makerspaces sau 63 Ready-to-Use Maker Projects Kroski explora latura creativă și tehnologică a bibliotecilor publice, în Law Librarianship Practice ea aplică aceeași rigoare inovației într-un context formal, juridic și academic. Ca și Loyita Worley în BIALL Handbook of Legal Information Management, autorii acestui volum distilează experiența reală în principii acționabile, însă Kroski plasează un accent mult mai puternic pe tehnologiile emergente, precum utilizarea Big Data și a inteligenței artificiale pentru competitive intelligence. Structura cărții este concepută pentru o progresie logică: începe cu fundamentul administrativ (politici și bugete), trece prin implementarea tehnologică și culminează cu strategii pentru gestionarea fuziunilor de firme de avocatură și planificarea succesiunii. Cele 28 de capitole includ instrumente concrete, de la extrase de contracte la tabele și casete informative, oferind o acoperire exhaustivă a provocărilor moderne. Credem că această lucrare reprezintă standardul actual pentru profesioniștii care doresc să navigheze complexitatea dreptului la intersecția cu tehnologia informației.

Descriere
Law librarianship is a constantly evolving field that has seen major shifts in practice over the past several years including the post-pandemic trend towards remote and hybrid work, the increased prominence of virtual services, the outsourcing of library staff, burgeoning cybersecurity risks, and the advent of generative AI. Law librarians have adroitly adapted to all of these changes and have once again proven their resilience.
Law Librarianship Practice is a cutting-edge book that provides insights into the latest emerging trends and technologies in academic, government, and law firm librarianship. This book offers guidance from forward-thinking library leaders on how they are tackling the challenges of law librarianship today, including managing remote workforces, negotiating with vendors, navigating outsourcing services, planning for emergencies, riding out law firm mergers, succession planning, and more. Experts working in the field provide practical applications of new technologies and opportunities, such as how librarians are conducting AI-informed competitive intelligence, using big data for decision-making, and what's happening in artificial intelligence. The book also covers innovative initiatives in the areas of diversity, equity, and inclusion, Access to Justice, and more.
Law Librarianship Practice serves as a comprehensive manual of modern-day law library practices, providing invaluable resources for law librarians. Readers will gain inspiration from nearly thirty chapters contributed by distinguished academic, government, and law firm librarians as well as library consultants who share their experience along with a combination of researched data, contract excerpts, surveys, and other real-world intelligence.
Divided into three segments, readers will be led through twenty-eight chapters in the areas of Law Library Management, Law Library Technologies, and Law Library Challenges and Opportunities.
