When she remembers what it was like to be a law firm librarian in the past, Kathy Greco, who is now the head librarian of Long Island-based Rivkin Radler L.L.P, always thinks of “shifting parties.” As a section of the library that housed one or more of the regional reporters was about to overflow, the library staff would come to work on a Saturday, order pizza, move the books to a different area of the library and re-shelve them there. It could take 4 or 5 hours to finish the job, and it was physically grueling work, Greco recalls.
Librarians who have begun to work relatively recently in law firms probably never have participated in a “shifting party” or in any similar event. That's because the nature of the law firm library ' and thus the librarian's role ' has undergone revolutionary change over the years. There still are books, at least some books, in today's law firm libraries, but Internet connections and CD-ROMs often seem to be just as prevalent and, perhaps, are actually even more important.

With trillions of dollars to keep watch over, the last thing we need is the distraction of costly litigation brought on by patent assertion entities (PAEs or "patent trolls"), companies that don't make any products but instead seek royalties by asserting their patents against those who do make products.
