Chapters have been written by the field’s top innovators from all areas of legal librarianship, including academic, government, and private law libraries, who have strived to provide inspiration and guidance to tomorrow’s law library leaders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the massive changes currently taking place in the business world and commonly known under the label “digitalization.” In addition, it describes the significant impacts of technological innovations on processes, products, services and business models. The digital transformation resulting from these developments leads to disruption for many enterprises and industries. While for many years, IT departments mainly concentrated on fulfilling the requirements of business departments effectively and efficiently by means of high-quality IT services and operations, today’s IT departments are increasingly expected to actively co-design and co-create the enterprise. This book describes how information technology enables innovation for businesses, and how IT departments can proactively and in a timely manner collaborate with the business departments of their corporation to leverage these innovations. It also delineates the implications of digitalization for the structures, processes and people in today’s IT departments. IT leaders and managers who are responsible for corporate IT, as well as practice-oriented researchers, will find valuable inspirations and guidance in this book, the central mission of which is to encourage and enable a more proactive role for IT in the digital transformation processes. "This book demonstrates the impact of digital transformation on IT organizations and their management. It also presents potential risks for technology availability, security and data protection. The authors develop a vision of what IT management should look like in ten years if it is to continue playing an important role in the company. The book seeks to motivate IT executives and managers with IT responsibility to actively adapt their thinking and their IT organizations before they are forced to react to external pressure. Definitely worth reading!" Sven Kreimendahl, Director Business Technology Services, Campana & Schott

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is currently an absence of an organization model which can be used as an aid to describing and discussing career development. This book will fill this gap by presenting a new model, the Librarian Career Management Tool, that can be used to identify and structure possible opportunities and challenges to the career development of academic librarians in the digital age. The career development of academic librarians follows different paths. There are different kinds of career guidance resources targeting librarians and students in Library and Information Science and the prerequisites for career development may differ between academic libraries. Because of this heterogeneity in the field there is a need for a theoretical and practical tool, the Librarian Career Management Tool, which distils variation down to fundamental principles which people can then work with. The tool collates all possible career paths into a taxonomy of influencing factors and natural relationships between these factors for the digital librarian context. The advantage of modelling these distinct patterns is to enable informed and far-sighted decisions on the motivations for the next steps in an individual’s career. It also enables key trends in digital information management to be better understood. Helps academic library managers to identify and structure the opportunities and challenges that their employees face in the digital age Helpful for early career academic librarians to identify and structure their motivations and what they want to achieve as librarians Ideal for educators in higher education within LIS as a resource for use in teaching about the prerequisites for, and characteristics of, career development of academic librarians

Book excerpt: The evolution of the 'digital age' has prompted profound changes in the library and information services environment. The internet has already had a major impact on how people find and access information, and now the rising popularity of e-books is helping transform reading habits. In this changing landscape, public libraries are trying to adjust their services to these new realities while still serving the needs of patrons who rely on more traditional resources. Digital Libraries are being created today for diverse communities and in different fields e.g. education, science, culture, development, health, governance and so on. Developments in information technologies and advances in telecommunications have revolutionized the worldwide information society. Access to information, via the Internet, is now ubiquitous. New techniques have facilitated the rapid transformation of data, information and knowledge into digital form, while leaps in software development have aided the provision of powerful new methods of knowledge management. Library Management in Digital Age outlines the mechanisms and procedures necessary to ensure and improve library services, plan strategic goals, develop mechanisms for improving communications and financial management, expand the use of information technology, and use space and equipment in the Libraries more effectively. With the availability of several free digital Library software packages at the recent time, the creation and sharing of information through the digital library collections has become an attractive and feasible proposition for library and information professionals around the world. This compendium is an attempt to present as well as to discuss the implications of these issues so that strategies can be devised to address them effectively and efficiently. This book discusses the new activities, methods and technology used in digitization and formation of digital libraries. It set out some key points involved and the detailed plans required in the process, offers pieces of advice and guidance for the practicing Librarians and Information scientists.
