Boston, MA Established in 1803 to serve the professional and intellectual requirements of the bench and bar, the Social Law Library of Boston, Massachusetts is a non-profit, member-managed research library. It serves as the primary reference resource for the state appellate courts and administrative agencies as well as the practicing bar of greater Boston. The Social Law Library’s current collection contains over 400,000 volumes and continues to expand. In addition to providing comprehensive practice materials for today’s researcher, the library’s collection of historic law books, court records, portraits, personal papers, and assorted incunabula is also a tremendous value to historians, biographers, social scientists, playwrights, film and documentary producers, genealogists, and researchers from a myriad of non-legal disciplines. The implementation of Millennium enabled the Social Law Library to provide up-to-date information for patrons and staff on all aspects of the library through the integration of its resources and services. With Innovative’s Web-based system, the library has also become a more visible member of the New England Law Library Consortium (NELLCO), allowing its Web OPAC to be included in NELLCO’s growing list of Web-based online catalogs available for simultaneous searching by member institutions. “The quality of justice depends in some measure on the quality of the Social Law Library. While lawyers and judges may be the primary users of the library, it is the public and our democratic institutions that are the ultimate beneficiaries. Implementation of the Millennium system will ensure that the library can continue to meet the high standards of service to the community to which it is committed,” concluded Robert Brink, Executive Director of the Social Law Library.
