Thanks for the update, Dan- I’m glad to hear it. (I didn’t mean to bag on Drexel, either- they seem to be doing a fine job setting up the law school- just to find out what was going on w/ what had been quite a controversial topic at one point.)

Matt, we think we’re developing an excellent, cutting edge law library at Drexel. As you may or may not know, our library director Chris Simoni – the highly respected library director who joined us from Northwestern University in Chicago – is building our library. One reason he left Northwestern was to try his hand at building a 21st century library from the gound up. Although things are still at an early stage, I think we’re well on our way to doing just that. The University has ponied up substantial resources to make this all happen. No mooching here!

What’s the status of the law library at Drexal? The last I’d heard (some time before the school opend) the plan was largely to mooch off of other librarires in the area, not a plan that seemed to popular with anyone except university budget types.
