Read this review of the book, Law Librarianship in the Digital Age, edited by Ellyssa Kroski, for a terrific, forward-thinking discussion of today’s law librarians at http://deweybstrategic.blogspot.com/2014/04/law-librarians-in-digital-age-new.html. I especially like Jean’s statement that:

“The word “librarian” hardly covers the breadth of our universe. We are strategic leaders, research analysts, taxonomists, teachers, digital pioneers, app developers, knowledge managers, information literacy evangelists and competitive intelligence gurus. In short, we are both educators and digital cartographers who build the bridges and help researchers chart the course between knowledge from the past and data which will become knowledge of the future.”
