Law libraries are losing ground in the effort to collect and preserve information in the digital age. In part, this is due to declining budgets, user needs, and a caution born from the great responsibility libraries feel to ensure future access. That caution, though, has caused others, such as Google, to fill the gap with their own solutions. Libraries must contribute actively to the creation of digital collections if they expect to have a voice in future discussions. This article presents a vision of a collaborative, digital academic law library�one that will harness our collective strengths while still allowing individual collections to prosper. It seeks to identify and answer the thorniest issues�including copyright�surrounding digitization projects. It does not presume to solve all of these issues. It is, however, intended to be a call for collective action�to stop discussing the law library of the future and to start building it.
