Reinvigorating Academic Law Library Standards 2026

On May 26, 2026, at the CALL/ACBD Conference in Moncton New Brunswick, Annette Demers presented the findings of the Reinvigorating Academic Law Library Standards articles that were published in CanLII in 2024 and 2025:

Annette Demers, Yemisi Dina and Gian Medves,"Trends in Canadian Academic Law Libraries: Report on the Reinvigorating Academic Law Library Standards Survey, Part One", 2025 CanLIIDocs 1371, https://canlii.ca/t/7nndz.

Annette Demers, Yemisi Dina and Gian Medves, "Trends in Canadian Academic Law Libraries: Report on the Reinvigorating Academic Law Library Standards Survey, Part Two", 2025 CanLIIDocs 1745, https://canlii.ca/t/7np09.

At this session, several academic law librarians agreed that the best solution might be to have the CALL/ACBD Academic SIG draft their own Canadian Academic Law Library Standards, reimagining the previous document drafted by CALL-D in 2007 and revised in 2020.

The Conference session was recorded and is available here in three parts:

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

The slides and script for this session are also available.
