It is absolutely essential that today’s law librarians are digitally literate in addition to possessing an understanding and awareness of recent advancements and trends in information technology as they pertain to the library field. Law Libraries in the Digital Age offers a one-stop, comprehensive guide to achieving both of those goals. This go-to resource covers the most cutting-edge developments that face today’s modern law libraries, including e-Books, mobile device management, Web scale discovery, cloud computing, social software, and much more. These critical issues and concepts are approached from the perspective of tech-savvy library leaders who each discuss how forward-thinking libraries are tackling such traditional library practices as reference, collection development, technical services, and administration in this new “digital age.” Each chapter explores the key concepts and issues that are currently being discussed at major law library conferences and events today and looks ahead to what’s on the horizon for law libraries in the future. Chapters have been written by the field’s top innovators from all areas of legal librarianship, including academic, government, and private law libraries, who have strived to provide inspiration and guidance to tomorrow’s law library leaders.

Assists the legal profession in citing legal authorities according to the rules given in "The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation", 21st ed. (2020). This title is a companion to The Bluebook (not a replacement) and applies Bluebook rules to a representative collection of common legal authorities. The citations included are based on Bluebook rules, and the abbreviations are those found in The Bluebook or derived from its guidelines. Besides updating both Bluebook and state court rule references, this edition has been updated to reflect Twenty-First Edition Bluebook revisions. The new edition has reduced its total page count--from 560 pages to 365 pages--in part by placing the citation information contained in T2 Foreign Jurisdictions in a free online database, and in part by having T6 abbreviations cover case names and institutional authors, as well as periodical titles. The various subsections of T13 from the twentieth edition are either contained in an expanded and slightly revised T6 or in the combined single T13 section "Institutional Names in Periodical Titles." Rule 18.8 was added to the twenty-first edition to provide citation guidance for photographs and illustrations.--Publisher.
