Why we love our jobs

We are a two person library in one of the largest litigation law firms in BC. Our library users are the firm's lawyers, articling students, paralegals, and secretaries. We help them with their research questions, order articles, assemble case law for legal briefs. We train them to use commercial electronic resources and in-house databases that we build and maintain. In a law library, speed and accuracy of service are essential: we work as a team and try to impress our users with a "magical" reference service.

We continually update our skills with on-line courses, seminars and conferences, by participating in library associations and by reading library literature and blogs.

For our efforts we are rewarded with generous salaries and vacation time, great benefits, bonuses, fun perks and the appreciation of very grateful lawyers. Overall, our work is satisfying and fulfilling and we recommend it to organized and energetic people who love working in a team for a variety of people, with a variety of needs.
