Private Law Firm Librarians Launch On Firmer Ground Blog

A new legal blog called On Firmer Ground has been launched as a international collaborative effort to highlight the challenges faced by private law firm librarians:

"We are not here to merely talk about the state of our industry. We are here to discuss proactive solutions and innovative ideas that will not only sustain this noble profession, but help it thrive in a changing world. We invite you into our discussion. Join your colleagues and other luminaries as we open our minds and share our opinions on the future of law firm libraries."

"Our discussions are candid, inclusive, and respectful. Every voice, every opinion counts. We invite you to speak your mind and join us as we face the challenges of uncertain economic times together and envision the future tomorrow holds for law firm librarians in the legal industry. Together, we can create a common voice and develop a shared vision for a secure and exciting future as law firm librarians."

"On Firmer Ground is a joint project of the Legal Division of the Special Libraries Association, the Private Law Libraries Special Interest Section of the American Association of Law Libraries, the Canadian Association of Law Libraries (l’Association Canadienne des Bibliothèques de Droit) and the British and Irish Association of Law Librarians."
