Opis

Over the past few years, there have been great changes in the legal publishing industry and in the manner in which legal information is produced, stored, disseminated, and used. A new landscape of legal information has emerged along with the convergence of two factors. The first is the tendency towards a concentration in the legal publishing industry, and the second is an information environment increasingly characterized by electronic forms of publishing and communication. The Political Economy of Legal Information: The New Landscape examines the relationship between these factors and considers how librarians and other information professionals can best comprehend, cope with, and even try to influence the factors which comprise the new legal information landscape.
