IN LAW LIBRARY MANAGEMENT AND TECHNOLOGY
Edited by Philip C Berwick + For academic, firm, corporate, and government law librarians
Antiquarian Books in the Age of
Technology
By GAIL M. DALY, Associate Dean for Library and Information Technology and
Associate Professor of Law, Underwood Law Library, Dedman School of Law,
Southern Methodist University
L aw libraries and legal education have been altered forever by recent advances
in technology. New academic law libraries emphasize services, networks,
group study space, and databases over book stacks and carrels, while in the
classroom the Socratic Method is morphing into PowerPoint presentations,
student clicker technology, and distance learning. In the cacophony of voices
debating the role of books in the modern law library and the role of the academic
law library in the modern law school, one category of material-antiquarian legal
materials-receives little attention.
