From the Editor

Welcome to Legal Reference Services Quarterly. In this issue, we examine three key aspects of legal information and law library services. In A Body Without a Soul: Why Print Still Matters in Legal Research, Mari Cheney and H.J.E. Simmons offer a balanced and in-depth exploration of the significance and usefulness of using print materials in legal research education in the digital age. Critical legal information Literacy as well as epistemicide and epistemic injustice are two concepts that Nicholas Norton, a law librarian, introduced in his article Critical Collections: Bringing a Critical Eye to Law Library Collection Development. These concepts ought to be utilized by academic law libraries to evaluate information needs and build collections. It is crucial for the field of law librarianship to collaborate and partner internationally. Tian He, a law librarian, and Duncan Alford, a late law professor and librarian, discuss their experiences in developing the law library at Peking University School of Transnational Law in their article, Building a Western-Style Law Library in Shenzhen China: Peking University School of Transnational Law. Peking University School of Transnational Law is the only law school in the world that grants a dual degree in American common law (Juris Doctor) and in Chinese law (Juris Master). Last but not the least, Katharine Hanson elaborates on the benefits of slowing down utilizing Daniel Kahneman’s “System 1 and System 2” model in her article, Slow is Smooth, Smooth is Fast: How Slowing Down Can Make Us Better Researchers.
