Committee
Report Looks into the Future of Law Libraries
For Immediate Release
February 13, 2003
Beyond
the Boundaries, the report of the AALL Special Committee on
the Future of Law Libraries in the Digital Age sponsored by LexisNexis™,
explores the virtual and physical evolution of law libraries in
the future.
Printed and
distributed in December 2002, Beyond the Boundaries describes
possible models of academic, private and government law libraries
of the future, analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of each model.
The report examines how the facilities, collections and content,
staffing, services, training, and budget of a law library will change
as it transitions from a physical entity to a virtual one.
AALL mailed
a free copy of Beyond the Boundaries to every member of
the Association in December 2002. To purchase extra copies of the
report for $35 each, please go to http://aallnet.org/products/pub_beyond.asp.
AALL thanks

in the Digital Age for their support of Beyond the Boundaries.
