Academic Law libraries new frontier the post truth cognitive bias challenge and calls for behavioral and structural reforms
2019Co-Authors: Kwanghyuk David YooAbstract:This article recognizes the escalated concerns of the post-truth phenomenon over its robust play-out as an emerging impetus and catalyst for another level of cognitive bias distorting information behavior, and the reasoning process, of the general public. The article highlights the functional vulnerability of Academic Law libraries to the post-truth challenge and explores their new frontier in the data-driven era. The article suggests that Academic Law libraries endeavor to revamp themselves in behavioral and structural contexts. Thus, it maintains that the role of Academic Law libraries should be reoriented and reshaped as information activists and they should consider technological renovation, inter alia blockchain application, for enhanced Integrated Library System design.

are you a member of the Law school community access policies at Academic Law libraries and access to justice
Law Library Journal, 2016Co-Authors: Sarah ReisAbstract:Law libraries play a crucial role in facilitating access to legal materials, which is a necessary prerequisite to achieving access to justice. However, many Academic Law libraries, particularly at private Law schools, are closed to members of the general public. This paper explores the access policies at Law libraries at the top 25 Law schools and in the three largest metropolitan areas to investigate whether members of the general public who live in these areas have adequate access to legal materials. This paper also includes a case study of the Seattle area to offer insight into how members of the general public in Seattle can obtain access to legal materials. This paper proposes introducing legal research clinics and restructuring advanced legal research courses at both public and private Law schools to help address unmet legal needs and to provide students with public service opportunities. The success of both proposals hinges on the willingness of Law librarians to oversee the legal research clinics and to teach the advanced legal research classes. Both proposals will help Law schools comply with ABA Standards 303 and 304, which go into effect beginning with the 2016-17 Academic year. Implementation of these proposals will also improve the image and reputation of Law schools and the legal profession, better equip Law students with necessary legal research and writing skills before they graduate, and reduce the amount of unmet legal needs in communities.

Status and Tenure for Academic Law Librarians: A Survey
2004Co-Authors: Sharon Blackburn, Masako Patrum, Sharon K. ScottAbstract:The debate surrounding the issue of faculty and Academic status for librarians has captured the attention of contributors to library literature for many years. This ongoing concern eventually led to collective action: in 1959, a report of the University Libraries Section of the Academic Status Committee of the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) “strongly recommended” professional librarians be granted Academic status and privileges. Opinion pieces have since abounded, with some convinced that the perceived benefits attached to “faculty status” are the due of the librarian, while others are just as strongly convinced that “status” too often comes with added responsibilities and few rewards. In June 2001, the ACRL board reaffirmed a statement supporting the granting of faculty status for librarians. The 2001 ACRL statement reinforces the view that faculty status for librarians is a double-edged sword. If this statement is applied by universities or Law schools, librarians will find themselves being evaluated alongside their teaching faculty colleagues. Full-time jobs and lack of release time and funding for research activities put librarians at a disadvantage when being evaluated in a large faculty pool, and they may find themselves trying to satisfy two sets of criteria: those relating to their primary job performance as librarians and those needed to meet “faculty” standards. The Law librarians at Texas Tech School of Law Library do not now have faculty or other professional status. In considering whether to seek such status, some discussion among the librarians ensued as to whether they would benefit. In order to make a determination regarding this question, a nationwide survey was conducted to assess the current state of Law librarian status and tenure, with results which may have considerable value to universities and colleges considering granting faculty status to their librarians.
