AALL Webinar: Learn to Collaborate and Find Common Ground with Your IT Department

Law firm library and information technology professionals share similar goals and struggle with many of the same issues. As we are all asked to do more with less, the skills that both of these groups bring to the table can be leveraged to increase value and produce results that are not only more effective but also more efficient.

Please join Scott Preston, CIO with Fulbright & Jaworski, and Sarah Clark Kavanagh, CEO of Cable & Clark, for Technology and the Law Firm Library: Finding Common Ground, on April 28, from 11 a.m.-12 p.m. CST.

This webinar will discuss:

• Perceptions of the law firm technology (from the firm’s library point of view)
• Perceptions of the law firm library (from technology’s point of view)
• Discussion of barriers between groups, common goals, and needs
• Discuss methods of effective collaboration

Register by April 21.

Welcome to the LISVendor wiki. This wiki was created to fill a simple need - the need for a place for librarians to communicate and otherwise share information about our interactions and business dealings with library vendors: complaints and compliments about customer service, problems with products, pricing information, etc.
