Legal librarians are commanding salaries between £45,000-100,000 according to a Press Association report at Scotsman.com: IT Skills Pushing Up Law Librarians' Pay.
Jitendra Valera, director of Sweet and Maxwell Legal Online, said: "Knowledge management is now at the very core of law firms, and because of this, senior legal librarians are now increasingly important within their firms.
"Lawyers are increasingly dependent on their knowledge management skills.
"Increasingly lawyers base their reputation on delivering the best researched and most robust legal solutions in a timely manner to their clients--the modern legal librarians' role is central to this.
"The old perception of legal librarians working away in small, dusty libraries, searching through volumes of legal texts is completely divorced from reality."
