Monday evening at AALL, West recognized law librarians at a tribute event that also served as the launch of a nation-wide campaign to salute law librarians and the critical role they play in managing knowledge and information on behalf of the organizations they represent.

This video was shown at the event. It features Arthur Miller, professor, New York University Law School; Bob Berring, professor, University of California, Berkeley, School of Law; Linda Will, law librarian consultant; and Peter Warwick, president and CEO of Thomson Reuters, Legal:

The campaign will include advertisements placed in national law magazines, newsletters and Web sites frequented by law librarians, and a publicity effort to recognize innovative law librarians who represent the best of what it means to pursue a career as a law librarian.

“The work of law librarians can sometimes go unrecognized,” said Anne Ellis, West’s senior director of Librarian Relations. “But the reality is that law librarians are more critical than ever in mining and managing all of the knowledge that the legal profession requires to successfully prosecute, defend or litigate their legal matters.”
