Bookends – The Decline of Print in Commercial Law Libraries

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  29 August 2025

Abstract

The reduction in the size of print collections in law firm libraries has become a significant trend in recent years. As digital resources become more prevalent and accessible, law firms are increasingly shifting away from maintaining extensive physical collections. But just how far has this gone, why has it happened and what’s the future for print collections in law firms? With these and other questions in mind LIM put together a survey which was sent to a number of information professionals working in leading law firms. Their responses are outlined below.
