Law Libraries, Government Transparency, and the Internet by Daniel Schuman.
From the post:
This past weekend I was fortunate to attend the American Association of Law Libraries 105th annual conference. On Sunday morning, I gave a presentation to a special interest section entitled “Law Libraries, Government Transparency, and the Internet,” where I discussed the important role that law libraries can play in making the government more open and transparent.
The slides illustrate the range of legal material, which is by definition difficult for the lay reader to access, that is becoming available.
I see an important role for law libraries as curators who create access points for both professional as well as lay researchers.
I first saw this at Legal Informatics.
