Abstract
Academic law librarians play an essential role in promoting democracy through participation in the Federal Depository Library Program. Ms.Pettinato explores democratic conceptions of the "informed citizen," how the partnership between law school libraries and the FDLP fosters that ideal even in the digital age, and why academic law librarians should embrace that role.
