Not Your Parents' Law Library: A Tale Of Two Academic Law Libraries, Julian Aiken, Femi Cadmus, Fred Shapiro
Not Your Parents' Law Library: A Tale Of Two Academic Law Libraries, Julian Aiken, Femi Cadmus, Fred Shapiro
Faculty Scholarship
As academic law libraries continue to face the inevitability of a rapidly changing landscape which includes a new breed of digital users with sophisticated technological needs, it remains to be seen what libraries will look like in years to come. It is certain that libraries as we know them today will have changed, but to what extent? An ability to remain adaptable and to anticipate the evolving needs of users in a dynamic environment will continue to be key for libraries to remain relevant, and even to survive, in the 21st century; vital to this endeavor will also be an …

This response to The Durham Statement Two Years Later, published in the Winter 2011 issue of Law Library Journal, addresses that article's call for an end to print publication of law journals and its failure to sufficiently consider the national and international actors and developments that will determine the future of digital libraries.

Supporting Scholarship: Thoughts On The Role Of The Academic Law Librarian, Richard A. Danner
Supporting Scholarship: Thoughts On The Role Of The Academic Law Librarian, Richard A. Danner
Faculty Scholarship
Discussing the role of the law library in legal education is necessary and essential, both because of the demands libraries place on increasingly tight law school budgets and space, and the challenges that libraries face as the information they collect and organize has moved largely from print to digital formats. This paper explores the roles of academic law librarians in supporting faculty scholarship within the context of the forces affecting libraries, librarians, and legal education in the (still early) twenty-first century. Although it has been more than 30 years since the widespread adoption of the legal research databases in the …

In January 1968, the New York Times Magazine printed a speech prepared by George F. Kennan for the dedication of a new library at Swarthmore College under the title "Rebels Without a Program." The response from students and teachers on the campuses was so great that a book was prepared, titled "Democracy and the Student Left." Among the student respondents was the young Bob Oakley.

Leaky Boundaries And The Decline Of The Autonomous Law School Library, James G. Milles
Leaky Boundaries And The Decline Of The Autonomous Law School Library, James G. Milles
Journal Articles
Academic law librarians have long insisted on the value of autonomy from the university library system, usually basing their arguments on strict adherence to ABA standards. However, law librarians have failed to construct an explicit and consistent definition of autonomy. Lacking such a definition, they have tended to rely on an outmoded Langdellian view of the law as a closed system. This view has long been discredited, as approaches such as law and economics and sociolegal research have become mainstream, and courts increasingly resort to nonlegal sources of information. Blind attachment to autonomy as a goal rather than a means …

Books Vs. Non-Book Information, Betty W. Taylor
Books Vs. Non-Book Information, Betty W. Taylor
UF Law Faculty Publications
Book survival, particularly in the field of law, is faced with various challenges in this modern age of computer technology." Are law librarians at the crossroads where we have chosen non-book resources over books because of their superiority in content and value? Will books survive? Will only some types of books survive? These questions serve as fodder for futurists, happy solutions for financial woes of administrators, and concern of librarians about service, space, and, perhaps most important of all, their own survival.

The Uses Of Art: Medieval Metaphor In The Michigan Law Quadrangle, Ilene H. Forsyth
About the Buildings
Within the architectural diversity of Michigan's Ann Arbor campus, a campus with a spread and a variety as extended as that of the university community itself, there is a place apart: the Cook Law Quad. The distinct ambiance created by the quad's buildings seems at variance with the melange that marks the rest of the campus where the free growth of the university over a long period of time has resulted in structures of various styles and uneven levels of distinction. Yet the quad's special character is not simply a matter of its architectural unity, as is often claimed. There …

How New Information Technologies Will Change The Way Law Professors Do And Distribute Scholarship, Peter W. Martin
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
Using a typology of legal scholars, Professor Martin explores the impact of new information technology on their work. His analysis suggests that increased use of electronic media in legal scholarship is likely to have a profound effect on the institutional structures of law schools, and he raises doubts about the continuing need for traditional academic law libraries in the future.

Architecture Beneath The Surface, Grace Anderson
Architecture Beneath The Surface, Grace Anderson
About the Buildings
Confronted by the need to expand its library, the law school at the University of Michigan and its architect, Gunnar Birkerts, decided to go underground. The decision followed a precedent set by some other universities that, like Michigan, wanted to preserve open space above ground. Early efforts to raise a building on this site were rejected, Birkerts reports, when it became evident that such a structure would hide the Gothic presence of the existing library and impede visual and pedestrian access to the cherished Law Quadrangle formed by the older library and dormitories. Birkerts seized the underground assignment as a …

Private Lawyers And Public Responsibilities, Carl Mcgowan
Michigan Law Review
A half-century ago when this Law Quadrangle was conceived and constructed, it was surely an act of faith on the part of its wise and generous donor. So it was also of this University which undertook the challenge to make of his vision a reality - to provide, in the most magnificent plant for legal education this country has ever seen, instruction in the law and constant refinement of its ideals worthy of the most rigorous traditions of the higher learning.

The Law Library, Hobart Coffey
The Law Library, Hobart Coffey
About the Buildings
The history of the Law Library dates from the establishment of the Law School in 1859· In June of that year, having in mind the Law Department that was to open the following October, the Regents appropriated $2,000 for the purchase of law books. That any books were actually bought before the department opened seems unlikely. It is more probable that the first Law Library was composed of a small collection of about 350 volumes donated by Judge Thomas M. Cooley, and duly accepted by the Regents in October, 1859. This first collection is said to have included ten volumes …

Extensive Addition To Library Planned, John Fallon
About the Buildings
The following day, March 30, 1859, the motion to put the Committee's plan (to found the Law School of the University of Michigan) into operation was taken from the table and passed by the Board of Regents ... At their June meeting the Regents authorized the Law Committee to purchase up to $2000 worth of law books for the new department ... And to the long projected Law Department at last became a reality. From the humble seed planted in 1859, the present Law School was to grow. Ninety five years to the very month later, the tree which grew …
