Who are LibGuides designed for?  What is the user experience?  How are they structured?  Organized?  Why are LibGuides the industry standard and how do you get people to use them?   How to reach your audience: internal, external, remote, patrons, public, etc.?   How does library type change the structure of the information?  What are the different experiences in various types of libraries?  How does each promote their services?  Join us to learn about several types of LibGuides and how they are being successfully used.  

We look forward to seeing you on October 24, 2025!

PLI is delighted to announce the second season of the PLI Ever Current Practising Law Librarian podcast providing timely, valuable information for the librarian community. Each episode features key learnings unearthed and explored through conversations with law librarians from varied backgrounds.

From the beginning, we asked accomplished law librarians what they wish they had known when they began working in libraries, what advice they would give to new librarians, and what key nuggets of wisdom, critical learnings, or book recommendations they wanted to share. During the second season, we also explored library trends, what AI will mean for law libraries and the legal profession, the evolution of legal research and patron needs, and more about the future of libraries.

Join us for fun, engaging discussions including a talk with SEAALL former President Donna Nixon, Electronic Resources Librarian and Clinical Professor of Law at the University of North Carolina School of Law.  We explore and learn about the role of historical documents, leadership, online resources, vendor librarian liaisons, government libraries, and the breadth and depth of your own experience in the law library today.
