This webinar will bring together perspectives from law schools, law firms and practicing attorneys for an honest conversation about what is happening in the real world.

Legal content is evolving to meet the changing needs of today’s professionals, expanding beyond traditional research materials to include practical guidance, professional development, emerging technologies, and human-centered skills. At the same time, AI is reshaping how that content is discovered, consumed, and used. In this episode of The AALLIN Podcast, we bring together leaders from across the legal information industry to explore what these changes mean for the future of legal content. We’ll discuss how expectations around content are evolving, why authoritative and expert-created information remains essential, and how AI is changing the relationship between users and the information they rely on. We’ll also examine how law libraries can demonstrate the value and ROI of quality content to their stakeholders as traditional measures of usage evolve. Content may still be king, but the kingdom is changing. Law librarians and their vendor partners have an important role in shaping what comes next.

This webinar will provide resources for updating your book preservation policy.

This program will explore how law libraries can play a leading role in identifying, preserving, and making accessible the often-overlooked materials that define the institution’s day-to-day operations and long-term evolution. Attendees will learn how to build relationships with administrative offices, develop simple workflows for capturing at-risk content, and launch a "Save Our Now" initiative to ensure that today’s activities are not tomorrow’s mysteries.

This program offers a practical comparison of popular tracking tools—including ResearchMonitor, OneLog, vendor-provided usage data, and manual methods used by small firms. This program explores how each tool captures usage, what types of insights they offer, and how to evaluate their reliability.

In this program, panelists will describe the different strategies they have taken to implement modern journal publishing standards and address emerging challenges at their own institutions, with a focus on identifying and working with key actors in the law review ecosystem; collaborating between departments and across institutions; the limitations and/or opportunities offered by popular proprietary or open-access publishing platforms; and taking advantage of moments of broader change to introduce new tools and establish new workflows.

This program equips librarians with practical, low risk playbooks to deliver accessible services across the user journey. We will identify common obstacles for patrons with visual, hearing, mobility, cognitive, and neurodivergent disabilities, then apply ADA- and WCAG-informed fixes that staff can implement without a full rebuild

This session will explore the nuanced challenges and practical strategies involved in cataloging special collections and rare materials.
