A wonderful think-piece from the Dewey B. Strategic blog today on the recent ALM library survey. Have these metrics lost their meaning? Are we asking the right questions? Jean O’Grady raises some questions of her own while sharing some of the survey’s findings. Yes, there is a silver lining!
The real headline of the 2016 survey was buried in the subtitle: ” Law libraries are phasing out print collections and reinventing themselves as sources of competitive intelligence and analytics.” Librarians and information professionals “own” one of the most critical areas of law practice transformation:knowledge. Innovative information products from the major vendors: Thomson Reuters, Wolters Kluwer, Lexis Nexis and BloombergBNA as well as a raft of startups (Ravel, Fastcase, Casetext, LitIQ, Intelligize, Manzama and PacerPro — to name a few) are offering lawyers new insights and workflows leveraging augmented intelligence, big data insights, predictive analytics, intelligent documents and linguisitic analysis.
