What a week. The balance of print and electronic never seemed more complex. We started with a list of serials up for renewal, and I cancelled several titles (or at least, I will find out early next week if they were active or lapsed and how much they really were versus my rough calculations; at that time I will share those specialized British titles with this FCIL blog). My hope was to reach

We were alerted last week to the discovery that LexisNexis Canada seems to be adopting the business model of its Butterworth products outside the US and giving US educational accounts just "slices" of the country information. While we could previously use separate passwords for the old Quicklaw system, these are now de-activated. Along with French and Argentinian sources, commonwealth materials

Dear FCIL Colleagues and Others Lo, the sleeping blog awakes! In New Orleans at this year's (2007) AALL meeting and Electronic Issues Group meeting, several in attendance favored the continuation and expansion of the blog with more information and perhaps added features. Our look is still completely basic without a hint of Web 2.0 but we may be able to jazz it up and get your feedback. First

This database seems to be very similar to International Law Reports (ILR) in concept. Has anyone subscribed to the database and done a comparison? Also, those who have subscribed, what are some of the pros and cons re? Thanks, Lyonette.

Now that we have all given thanks for our many blessings, shall we turn to gifts for which we are not always so thankful? Of course I am speaking of the gifts that we receive as librarians for our libraries. We can be a kind of food pantry of expired goods for the delayed generosity of our more senior academic patrons. Or, as is more problematic for my institution, the possible recipient of gifts

Dear All, The topic last week about balancing electronic and print materials is one I plan to take up on a panel at AALL this summer. More details later. This week I am responding here to messages I received on other lists about foreign jurisdictions and which ones publish a "basics" series such as Irwin Law's Essentials of Canadian Law. I suggested the Que sais-je? series for France from Presses

Using a fulcrum to move a heavy object is a principle of physics. In libraries, budgets and curricular demands might be at odds with regard to the weight given foreign collections. I wonder if anyone wants to ponder this idea: that if there are jurisdictions of perhaps only transient interest, see if electronics will not cover it. If there are core jurisdictions for teaching purposes, then those

The idea of discussing collecting foreign, comparative, and international law (FCIL) materials with a "books are dead" paradigm came from a non-FCIL librarian colleague who has worked in a law firm library setting where the paradigm is in play. Law firm libraries have been reducing their print collections and focusing more on electronic resources. Academic law libraries are experiencing space

Dear Colleagues and Bloggers, Today we would like to launch a discussion about two related trends. One would be the "end" of the book as we know it, although monographs abound. The problem is, both as to space and money, we just can't keep very many of them around, can we? Or can we- please give us your 2 cents! Another aspect is the trade-off that some of us must make.
