The role of the law firm librarian has never been simultaneously so clouded or so fluid.  Librarians continue to morph and reinvent themselves, and their professional duties and job descriptions have consequently become more elaborate and all-encompassing.  Superior service no longer equates to just providing excellent research and relevant resources, but now also requires being an integral part of actively supporting the business of law.  

Ark Group’s 14th annual Law Firm Library, Research & Information Services conference once again aims to provide a professional toolbox of ideas and inspiration from which to turn to and rely upon.  The walls of the physical library space can no longer contain the modern law firm library, as librarians are taking on roles and responsibilities in the areas of KM, innovation, big data and analytics, and client-facing solutions.  Now, more than ever, librarians need to be armed with the right knowledge, skills, and attributes that will allow them to put agility into practice and continuously evolve in their roles as leaders of change.
