This is a paper addressing current concerns in legal libraries and librarianship, particularly those arising from the rise of digital resources. Resources, such as ebooks and databases, with their user-friendliness and physically broader points of accessibility, have driven both law firm and academic law librarians to rethink their roles in their respective institutions, and craft ways to stay relevant. In law firms there is a trend of rebranding, from librarians to more “information”-centric titles; in academic law libraries, a more focused emphasis on aiding tenured faculty in research. My presentation itself focuses on the technology-driven push for innovation, particularly issues presented by legal blogs, including preservation.
