I opened up this weeks Legal Week yesterday afternoon, and upon flicking through I found an article titled ‘Information Overload’. Upon reading it, I couldn’t believe that there was no mention anywhere about the library or information centre!

The first paragraph:

Information overload is a problem for all of us: too many emails, too much data, too many magazine articles to read. Sorting the wheat from the chaff is a major challenge. And if lawyers are to focus on the right information, a lot of the sorting has to be done for them. How can firms approach this challenge?

could easily be answered by getting your library/information department involved. That’s what we’re here to do!

I wouldn’t want the article to be all about the library, but a small mention would be nice.
