We have a law student whose summer employer has told her that one of her
duties at the bank where she will work will be to "update" the materials
in their banking law collection and to order any titles and supplements
necessary to make the collection useful. Apparently the bank's legal
department wants to operate on the cheap and avoid hiring a qualified
librarian, even on a temporary or part-time basis. This poor law student is
not a librarian and has no experience working in libraries or, presumably,
in banking law, as she is just finishing her first year of law school. She
has no idea how she will go about accomplishing this task. (I wonder if
she'll even get a chance to do any legal work.)
Are there any law librarians out there who regularly work with banking law
collections whom she could contact with her questions, primarily via e-mail but
possibly also by phone? I don't like the smell of this deal, but I'd like to
find a way to help her out.
