[Prodev] Relevance: Value Added Services, case summaries, legislative tracking etc

[Rosalie Sanderson]

You have mentioned a variety of services.  The various library 
publication, summaries and tracking services seem to be 
particularly relevant to your users and valued by them.  This seems 
to be the very essence of knowledge management and value added 
services.  

County, barrister, state court and law firm librarians have 
mentioned preparing and providing these services.  I'd like to ask a 
couple of questions about both content and users of these services.

1) Are most libraries, academic as well, providing these type of 
tailored summary and tracking services mentioned by Kathy 
Carlson (Wyoming State Law Library), Connie Crosby (Barristers & 
Solicitors, Toronto), Claudia Jalowka-  (CT Judicial Branch Law 
Libraries), Juliana Hayden (U.S. Court of Appeals Library NH)?

2) Are other libraries using focus groups or surveying patrons to 
determine whether they want these services, or continue to find 
them useful ( as mentioned by Jean Willis (San Diego County Law 
Library)?
