Abstract
James Heller’s paper, “The Hunger Games” outlines the future of library collections as digital collecting becomes more standard and publishers continue to consolidate. Heller begins with a history of the legal research publishing space, speaking on personal experience drawn from being a librarian in the 1970s and 1980s. He advocates for building a cordial relationship between publishers and librarians, and draws parallels between their contentious relationship and The Hunger Games – worried about the concentration of information in only a few hands. He finalizes the paper by outlining budget costs of libraries and discussing how law’s shift to digital has eliminated much of the availability of diversity in legal publishing and sources.
