MAALL Annual Meeting, Kansas City. october 22 - 24, 2015
Program Description:
Many librarian positions have emerged in the recent years where technology plays a big part in the job description. While the titles might differ, the duties remain the same and demonstrate a growing need of an advanced technological skillset to lead the libraries in the digital world of knowledge. However, having a digital librarian with the desired new skills might not be enough as most libraries still rely on a broader information technology service and follow their requirements and rules. This panel will discuss common challenges that law libraries are facing when it comes to implementing new digital initiatives and how they manage their relationship with the main IT service.
