Teacher librarians can evaluate online information and, more importantly, they know how teach others to do it for themselves.
[...]
Because of the internet, what used to be called ''library skills'' or ''research skills'' have now become essential skills for functioning in the world. Teacher librarians help students of all ages to locate, select, organise, synthesise, evaluate and share information. This is called information literacy, and it is a teacher librarian's bread and butter.

Library Boy: Future Trends in Law Libraries

Library Boy: Future Trends in Law Libraries | The Information Professional | Scoop.it
From micheladrien.blogspot.fr - May 10, 2012 5:39 AM

Michel-Adrien:

"At a session this morning at the annual conference of the Canadian Association of Law Libraries (CALL) in Toronto, New York-based consultant Nigel Holloway outlined some of the results of a survey conducted earlier this year among CALL members."

 

"Some 140 law librarians responded, about one quarter of the CALL membership, with two fifths of respondents coming from law firms, a bit over one third from from courthouse libraries, and about one sixth from universities. More than 50% of respondents worked in small libraries (1-3 staff), more or less 20% in medium-sized libraries (4-9), and about one quarter in libraries with more than 10 staff members."

[...]

"The survey is quite revealing about the trend toward digital content. Right now, some 45% of respondents state that more than 40% of their content is in digital format. 70% of respondents expect this to be the situation by 2014."
