New Column: Librarians as Model Thinkers

As indicated in the previous issue, I want to begin a new column to promote dialogues and exchanges on law library services and operations using commonly recognized thinking concepts and intellectual models developed in different disciplines. The hope is to promote active thinking and occasionally, perhaps, unconventional thinking to help assess our past, examine our present, and forecast our future collectively. The purpose of this column is to recommend several areas for consideration as a starting point. The recommendation never intends to be comprehensive or conclusive.1 We invite your contribution as a response or an independent article under this broad theme to help make this dialogue more progressive, open-ended, and dynamic.
