## Resource

In an era of instant information, where Artificial Intelligence will not just answer your question but write the essay for you - what is the role of the law library? Or even…books? We find out, on the latest episode of “The Legal Impact.” Our guests are two longtime law librarians at UNH-Franklin Pierce School of Law: Susan Drisko Zago, Professor and Law Library Director, and Kathy Fletcher, reference and public service librarian. Listen in, as they reflect on the massive shifts they’ve seen in legal research and library practice, and how all these changes may affect the next generation of lawyers.
