Seventh Circuit Librarian Gretchen Van Dam says: "The law library of today is an appropriately balanced combination of research and reference materials in print and online formats. That means the law librarian of today is an expert at determining when print works best for the researcher and when online access is the superior method." And Third Circuit Librarian Susan English points out: "Ease of access is the key factor in today's busy work environment, whether the researcher is a librarian, law clerk or judge. The challenge for today's librarians is to provide the right mix of online and hard copy resources and to hone our researchers' skills by offering appropriate and timely training." Judge John W. Lungstrum, chair of the Judicial Conference Committee on Court Administration and Case Management (CACM), takes the position: "We cannot afford to expend our limited resources on any items that are not necessary to our important mission."
