Introduction

Law librarianship is an area of specialization in librarianship. While training to become a librarian, courses are taught within a short period on legal information resources but not much is said about the practices and what to expect. This book is a guide for librarians who want to pursue a career in academic law libraries. It provides basic information on the best practices in academic law libraries and serves as a guide for library school students by detailing what they can expect if they choose to work in a law library.
