LOS ANGELES, June 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- LAC Group Vice President of Information Services Jim Haggerty has contributed a chapter to a book titled "The Evolution of the Law Firm Library Function" published by ARK Group, a publishing and events company for legal and information management markets. Haggerty's contribution is titled, "Are you running a 24-hour law library?" He addresses extended service hours, a common need for law firms with offices and clients in multiple time zones and a growing challenge in an era of decreasing budgets and cost recovery efforts.
The ARK Group book seeks to address the challenges faced by legal librarians as transformative technologies are disrupting research and information management practices.
The book includes contributions from a spectrum of legal industry and law library experts, such as legal service providers, technology companies and librarians and researchers from major law firms and law schools. Along with Jim's topic of extended research and reference service hours, other issues addressed in the book include:
- Integrating the library / information function into the business of law
- Evolution from fixed, physical space to mobile, digital library services
- Leveraging legal research analytics for revenue growth
- Practice-oriented communication, collaboration and education
