Abstract

Abstract This article argues that print still has a place in legal research pedagogy and that some materials should still be collected in print in addition to online should the budget allow for it due to five primary reasons: (1) stability of legal information; (2) context; (3) information literacy; (4) algorithm bias; and (5) the discovery of information. Since many law library budgets are shrinking, there are creative ways for online legal publishers to make online material more print-like should libraries be unable to purchase both print and online material.

没有灵魂的身体:为什么印刷品在法律研究中仍然很重要

摘要本文认为，纸媒在法学研究教学中仍有一席之地，在预算允许的情况下，部分资料仍应以纸媒形式收集，而不应以网络形式收集，主要有五个原因:(1)法律信息的稳定性;(2)背景;(3)信息素养;(4)算法偏差;(5)信息的发现。由于许多法律图书馆的预算正在缩减，如果图书馆无法同时购买印刷和在线材料，在线法律出版商有创造性的方法使在线材料更像印刷品。
