I'm experiencing a major push back from my user community to access document images versus requesting the paper files. Although policy and standard procedures have been established and implemented during the later stages of our current on-going backfile conversion imaging project,- one year later, I'm having resistant from the user community to utilize the images.
As we all are aware, the directive comes from top management, however, top management must funnel the importance of this learning curve and transition time down to their subordinates. Unfortunately at times, the communication gap begins at that very level.
I'm looking for your expertise to assist me in getting through this transition: from the hard copy paper to the electronic version. Any training information, manuals or common language on change management. How to break the old habits? How to turn the negative, scared and threaten perspective into a positive and more efficient process?
Thank you,
Yvonne

Exclusive bru$h with the law: New library closed to
the public
By Maggie Mulvihill
Sunday, February 12, 2006
You pay millions for it each year - but you can't use
it.
The Social Law Library, which occupies 82,000
square feet, or roughly 40 percent, of the stately new
John Adams Courthouse, is closed to the public.
That makes Suffolk County the only county in the
state without a free public law library for the
citizens who foot the bills.
This despite the fact that the Legislature
regularly appropriates an average of $1.5 to $2
million annually for library operations, state budget
records show. In contrast, the 17 other public law
libraries across the state, also free to the public,
get an average of $294,000 each year, records show.
The 42 members of the library staff occupy the
expansive fourth and fifth floors of the renovated
Adams Courthouse in Pemberton Square rent-free, and
don't pay for heat or electricity, said SLL president
Jeffrey Swope, a partner at the Boston law firm of
Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge LLP.
The executive director of the library, attorney
Robert J. Brink, a regular contributor to local
politicians, earns a whopping $190,000 annually, Swope
said. Lobbyist Edward Dever Jr. has been paid $168,875
in fees to advocate for the library on Beacon Hill
since 1995, state records show.
Swope does not deny the library is a private
organization. He defends the denial of public access
because private membership fees generate millions each
year.
The cost for an individual membership is $335
annually, according to membership information provided
by the library.A one-day "courtesy pass" is available
for a citizen or lawyer who wants to use the library
for that day, a library staff member said.
The library is also free to all state agencies and
members of the judiciary, legislative and executive
branches, Swope said. Legal service organizations that
work for the disadvantaged also get free memberships,
he said. "It's really a wonderful subsidy for the
taxpayers," Swope said. "We have nothing to be ashamed
of."
But lawyers who have to pay to use the library,
including its Internet resources, disagree.
"Any library that occupies public space in a
public building should be open to the public - for
free," said attorney Marilyn Beck, a former president
of the Massachusetts Bar Association.
Other critics point out that because most legal
research is done online, there is no need for the
library to occupy 82,000 square feet in the Adams when
millions in funds are being spent to lease space for
other Suffolk County court offices, such as the Trial
Court's Office of Administration and Management and
the Land Court.
A Herald reporter visiting the library Friday saw
just four people using library resources on the entire
fourth floor, while one patron worked alone on the
cavernous fifth floor. Swope acknowledged "foot
traffic has dropped precipitously" in recent years due
to both construction at the courthouse and the onset
of online research.
