From her many years of work supporting legal research and writing at corporate law firms, Kathy Dunagin knows the role of the traditional law librarian is transforming in important ways.
Today, in addition to assisting attorneys with legal research for client matters and managing extensive print and electronic collections, Thompson Coburn’s law librarians monitor clients, market trends, and regulatory issues and curate customized daily news emails; perform topic research for attorney blogs, newsletters, firm websites and other media; and assist with key research for marketing and business development efforts.
In her role as Director of Library Services, Kathy coordinates the acquisition of the firm’s legal resources and manages instructional services for computer-assisted legal research. She directs a staff of talented professional librarians who provide reference assistance for client matters, as well as business and competitive research to enhance firm services.

I enjoy traveling, gardening, reading, cooking, listening to music and spending time with my dogs. I fancy myself a wine connoisseur. In addition to fiction, I enjoy reading history and biographies and closely follow local, national, and world news and politics.
