ABSTRACT
Any work which deals with legal information management, whether explicitly in an international context or not, must consider the impacts of globalisation. Globalisation in all its various manifestations and ramifications is a complex series of processes which has affected all our lives. It has had a profound impact on law, the legal profession and legal education and so it has also had at least an equal impact on legal information management, on law libraries, and on the profession of law librarianship. The consideration of globalisation and legal information implies an examination of trends and challenges affecting the future of legal information, law libraries and of law librarians, as well as their recent past.
