Academic law libraries have seen a monumental shift from print to digital over the last decade, requiring library administration to be forward-thinkers when utilizing library staff and when analyzing and developing the library collection. While students are content to research using Westlaw, Lexis, and even Google, the law librarians at Stetson University College of Law’s Dolly & Homer Hand Law Library are actively utilizing every library department, from circulation and technical services to administration, to analyze and develop the print and digital collection. This session will engage the audience in discussion about best practices when implementing staff into collection development and acquisitions, and the failures and successes we have experienced. Attendees can expect to learn how to best use staff at every level to make better collection decisions in a rough economic climate.
