Law librarianship is a profession that has a proud history and a bright future, yet it is not without its problems and concerns. For this issue of Law Library Lights, we have gathered together a number of luminaries in the field and asked them a number of questions related to the most important issues facing our community: professional image, additional roles, education and training, ethics, minority recruitment, budget crunch, technology, vendors, and the future.
This exchange was published in volume 35, issue number 5, May/June 1992.
