In an increasingly competitive market, law schools are more preoccupied with visibility and reputation than ever. How can the library use its core competencies to support these goals while staying true to its existing values and responsibilities?
Many libraries are leveraging services like repositories, publishing solutions, and faculty expert galleries to make themselves more relevant and more visible on campus. And with a seat at the table, the library can offer its expertise in navigating an ever-changing world of opportunities and risks in scholarly publishing.
Panelists from Cornell Law School, the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law, and the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill School of Law, will share:
How they’ve garnered (and kept) support from faculty and administration by meeting key goals
- Why the library is best situated to provide crucial services including impact metrics, expert galleries, and comprehensive law-review publishing programs; and
- How the library’s values of open access and information management align with the law school’s need to market itself to a national and global audience
Speakers:
- Marci Hoffman, Lecturer in Residence and Associate Director of the Law Library at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law
- Julie L. Kimbrough, Clinical Assistant Professor of Law and Deputy Director of the Law Library at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill School of Law
- Jean Pajerek, Director for Information Management at Cornell Law School
- Moderated by Casey Busher, Director of Communications at bepress
