So you want to be a Law Librarian

Ted Tjaden has written an excellent post on SLAW asking "So you want to be a Law Librarian"

In the post Ted articulates the role/skills that Law Librarians working in a modern law firm will need to have. These are listed as:

• Specialized knowledge/skills
• Dealing with Information Overload
• Adding value
• Creating strategic partnerships
• Training
• Adapt to change

For me perhaps the most important skill is being able to adapt to change. Change is inevitable, it's happening within the legal sector, within law firms, within the library sector and within libraries themselves. Being able to adapt and to embrace change is hugely important and is something that is often taken for granted. Unfortunately if we don't learn to change we risk being left behind.
