R.I.P. Law Librarian Extraordinaire Margaret Banks

Margaret Banks, one of Canada's most prominent law librarians, died last week. She was 81.

Simon Chester has more on slaw.ca.

The first book on law librarianship I ever read was her Banks on Using a Law Library: a Canadian Guide to Legal Research, 6th ed. (Scarborough, Ont. : Carswell, 1994).

It is still on the shelf near my desk at the office.
