Sean Hocking
Sean Hocking is the owner and editor of Law Librarians News
He started the newsletter in 2002 after seeing that legal librarians and Knowledge Managers were not receiving regular updates that consolidated and provided an independent precis of what was happening in the world of legal publishing and legal information management.
We now work with other selected independent information providers to provide our readership with fortnightly updates that allow an understanding of current trends, developments and news from the market.
LLN/eu is read by law librarians in jurisdictions around the world including The UK, The U.S, Australia, New Zealand, Canada Europe & Asia.
LLN/eu is currently developing agreements with providers that will bring discounts to our readership on legal conferences and the the purchase of legal publications.
Sean Hocking has worked in legal book retailing and publishing for over 15 years. For LBC (Australia), Point Of Law (Australia’s first independent legal bookshop), Legalease (UK), Lexis Nexis(Australia). He also developed Australia’s first independent legal portal excata.com which was subsequently sold to Lexis Nexis Australia in 2000.

| John Taylor
John worked as head of information technology for one of Australia’s largest law firms. During that time the very beginnings of the World Wide Web led him into experimenting with information sharing technologies.
John and Sean practicesource.com met over a cup of coffee to discuss how to compete against the millions of dollars being spent (wasted) at the time on a large Australian legal portal. With a very small budget of less than a thousand dollars and using open source software practicesource.com was subsequently born.
