Knowledge management in law firms:
Is it really different?
July 2004
This article summarizes four recent conference
calls to discuss the following member question:
| "What are other law
firms doing about knowledge management and taxonomies?" |
The original requestor, Head of Library Technical Services for a major
New York law firm, discussed software selection, staffing, and implementation
issues with four other law firm librarians. One of our editors arranged
the calls and participated in the conversation.
Background
Law firms are the ultimate intellectual capital companies; information
and expertise are their lifeblood. Since lawyers are heavily invested
in how things have been done before, they are already oriented toward
knowledge management principles.
