Target Audience: Law firm librarians looking to make their budgets go further Learning Outcomes: 1. Participants will identify concrete ways to cut costs in the library without compromising the quality of service. 2. Participants will demonstrate to management that they are exploring alternative ways to cut expenses.
You've been asked to do more with less, but your budget is already cut to the bone. What's left? You'll be surprised at what your colleagues have done to stretch their dollars! Join us for a lively discussion of suggestions taken from private law librarians in a recent survey (to be conducted in the spring of 2010). Topics will include collection rebalancing, managing online costs, harnessing inexpensive technology, maximizing staff hours and expertise, uncovering those hidden expenses, and level-setting expectations within your firm - given the new economic realities. This session will be fun and fast-paced, with something for everyone. You'll walk out convinced that it is possible to pinch pennies (relatively) painlessly in your law firm library.
