<br />
This year’s topic is the “new normal” in law libraries. It’s something we have all been talking about but what does it really mean for our jobs, our collection and, most importantly, our users? Tracy Thompson from NELLCO will provide a lay of the land followed by a day of presentations and discussion about just what it means to be “normal” in this “new” landscape.<br />
<br />
We hope you’ll join us! #llnefall13<br />

<br />
<br /> <p>We are fortunate to be able to hold the meeting at the <a href="http://www.clarkart.edu/">Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute</a> <span class="st"> in Williamstown, Massachusetts</span>, in the Berkshires. <a href="http://www.clarkart.edu/about/content.cfm?ID=37">"The Clark's mission and its geographical location define three essential, interrelated aspects of its character and identity: the quality of its art, the beauty of its pastoral setting and the depth of its commitment to the generation of ideas."</a> With this program, we hope to contribute to the generation of ideas.</p> <p>We are also fortunate in having terrific speakers for the program. Ralph Lerner and Judith Bresler are among the most knowledgeable people in the field of art law. Their book,<em> Art Law: the Guide for Collectors, Investors, Dealers and Artists</em>, is a standard reference for the art community. Filippa Anzalone, one of our own, is an enthusiastic lecturer on the subject of art law. Anthony Amore, as Security Director of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, is leading the search for the Gardner's stolen art. He lectures widely on art crime, and has just come out with a very interesting new book on the subject. For more information about our speakers, see our <a href="http://www.lawlib.state.ma.us/llne/speakers.html">Speakers Biographies</a>. The <a href="http://www.lawlib.state.ma.us/llne/bibliography.html">Bibliography</a>, culled from the work of our speakers, will give you a taste of what is to come.</p> <p>Part of your registration fee includes an all-day pass to view the galleries. Time is set aside for this in the <a href="http://www.lawlib.state.ma.us/llne/schedule.html">Schedule</a>.</p> <p><a href="http://www.lawlib.state.ma.us/llne/directions.html">Directions and Accommodations</a> in and around Williamstown are available. If you are interested in sharing a ride, we will have a wiki created for that purpose. For area restaurants and an extensive list of things to do, see our <a href="http://www.lawlib.state.ma.us/llne/attractions.html">Area Attractions</a> page. Bring the family or friends, and enjoy the fall foliage season in the Berkshires.</p> <p>Our Social Responsibility project will benefit the Clark's <a href="http://www.clarkart.edu/museum/content.cfm?ID=65">Education Department</a>'s special <a href="http://www.clarkart.edu/visit/content.cfm?ID=67">Family Days</a>. We are asking for specific art supplies or a donation in support of programs which take place three times a year as celebrations of special exhibitions or the permanent collection. The Clark also runs the <a href="http://www.clarkart.edu/about/raise.cfm">Responding to Art Involves Self Expression (RAISE)</a> program in collaboration with the Berkshire County Juvenile Court (BCJC).</p> <p>Once again, our <a href="http://www.lawlib.state.ma.us/llne/sponsors.html">Sponsors</a> are generously supporting our professional development. Please visit the vendor displays at the meeting.</p> <p>Help us to frame the issues, and <a href="http://www.lawlib.state.ma.us/llne/Registration.PDF">register here</a> for the program.</p> <p>Barbara Schneider and Gary Smith

The Head of the Trial Court Libraries of Massachusetts, Marnie Warner, has written great piece on law libraries and access to justice. And our own Stephen <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Salhany</span> gives us his insight into the victory of the Boston Bruins from a research perspective, of course.<br /><br />Also, read about all our <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">LLNE</span>’<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">ers</span> programs at <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">AALL</span> – come out and support their poster sessions, presentations, and round tables!<br /><br />This issue of the newsletter also continues our regular favorites such as Access Points, Thinking About Technology, and a continuation of the series “Agents for the Books.”<br /><br />Have a Great Summer and see you in Philadelphia!Kyle K.

Wait a minute! It’s October 1? How can that be? I was just sworn in as LLNE President in….JULY? No! That can’t be right. Can it?<br />I can’t believe it is October already and I am sure many of you are feeling this very same way. I wanted to take some time out of the craziness that is September to fill you all in on what is happening with LLNE.<br /><br /><strong>Snow in October</strong><br /><br />Amanda Merck, Chair of the LLNE Service Committee has organized a great event, where volunteers from LLNE will participate in Jumpstart's "Read for the Record" campaign. This year they will be reading "The Snowy Day" to children at The Open Center in Somerville, MA on the morning of Thursday, October 7th. Please note: They were originally scheduled to read in the afternoon, but it has been changed to 10:00 am ‑ 11:30 am! They will be joined by Senator Pat Jehlen and Suzan Bocamazo, the new editor of the Mass Lawyers Weekly! Last year the MLW showcased photos of our event in their newspaper. <br /><br />In its fifth year, Jumpstart's "Read for the Record" campaign will bring together hundreds of thousands of people to break the world record for the number of children read to in a single day with a single book, TheSnowy Day. I hope you can join your volunteer‑minded colleagues but if you cannot attend the event please feel free to make a contribution on our book drive website: http://www.readfortherecord.org/site/TR/RFTR/General?team_id=6010&pg=tea<br />m&fr_id=1130<br /><br />If you cannot donate or join the volunteers in Somerville there is something else you can do ‑ you can read to a child and then register it on the Jumpstart website, <a href="http://www.readfortherecord.org/site/PageServer?pagename=pledge_2010_form">http://www.readfortherecord.org/site/PageServer?pagename=pledge_2010_form</a>. There is great power in reading to a young child! And you can be a World Record Holder!<br /><br />Thank you, Amanda, for organizing this great event!<br /><br /><strong>Completing the National Inventory</strong><br /><strong></strong><br />Those of you at the annual meeting in Denver in July heard me speak about the importance of AALL’s current project to complete a national inventory of primary legal materials. It is AALL’s policy that the public have no-fee permanent public access to authentic online legal information on government websites, including the text of all primary legal materials. The state work groups are currently in the process of compiling the primary legal resources of every level of government for all 50 states and the District of Columbia. As you can imagine, this is a huge task and many of LLNE’s members are participating in this project. Below are the state working groups for the states that make up LLNE. If you would like to take part in this project please do not hesitate to contact anyone on this list. I am sure they would gladly take your help. It is my hope that by July 2011, when we are meeting at the AALL Annual Meeting in Pennsylvania, that each state in LLNE will have completed its inventory.<br />If you want to learn more about this project you can go to the AALL Government Relations Website at <a href="http://www.aallnet.org/aallwash/">http://www.aallnet.org/aallwash/</a>. <br /><br />Please join me in thanking the following individuals for their participation in this very important project.<br /><br /><strong>Connecticut</strong><br />Camilla Tubbs, Yale Law School Lillian Goldman Library (coordinator)<br />Steve Mirsky, Connecticut State Library<br />Darcy Kirk, University of Connecticut School of Law Library<br />Ryan Harrington, Yale Law School Lillian Goldman Library<br />Cesar Zapata, Yale Law School Lillian Goldman Library<br /><br /><strong>Maine<br /></strong>John Barden, Maine State Law & Legislative Reference Library (coordinator)<br />Christine I.

At this meeting we will be learning how to improve workplace health and worker’s morale. Libraries are being faced with demands for doing more with less and in some cases libraries are being closed or being threatened with closure. Information is coming in from all angles and monumental change happens as we sip our morning coffee. How can you be more efficient and more effective? How can you keep your spirits up as well as your colleagues and customers? Come to the Fall LLNE Meeting and find out! <br /><br /><strong>Jay Hargis</strong>, Director of Learning & Development at Tufts Medical Center will give the keynote address on “Catching the Morale Virus” and how to keep an upbeat attitude at work and then spread it around. <strong>Hamish Blackman</strong>, CEO of Wellness Corporation will talk about individual stressors and examines techniques for managing events, behavior, and attitude. <strong>Jason Eiseman</strong>, Librarian for Emerging Technologies at Yale Law School will do a presentation on dealing with information overload. <strong>Stephen Donweber</strong>, Senior Legal Information and Educational Technology Librarian at Pappas Law Library will be our facilitator for our joint brainstorming session on how we can apply these ideas and concepts to our own situations.<br />I hope to see many of you there on November 19. With the holidays fast approaching by this time, maybe Mr. Blackman will also talk to us about holiday stressors and how to manage those!<br /><br />I hope you all enjoy the remainder of the fall!

BELLEFONTAINE, ESQ., REMEMBEREDThe Trustees and staff of the Social Law Library are greatly saddened by the death of Edgar J. Bellefontaine. As Librarian from 1961 to 1998 Mr. Bellefontaine was the guiding force behind the Library’s many improvements and innovations. He kept the Library’s primary focus squarely on the patrons who depend on its resources and services. He guided the Library’s adoption of new technologies, forged a commitment to historic preservation, and encouraged nearly four decades of energetic development. He never forgot that the Library was founded as a “social” organization to foster a sense of professionalism and community among the members of the bench and bar. He was brilliant, enterprising, engaging and forever innovative. Made up of equal parts Maine and Metropolitan Boston, he was a much loved and gifted custodian of the law.<br /><br />***<br /><br />Edgar Bellefontaine’s dedication to new and improving technologies, combined with his respect and thoughtful preservation of the past, created a unique period in the Library’s two hundred year history—an information renaissance—and made the Social Law Library a leader among the nation’s law libraries. The Library “firsts” realized during his tenure present a chronology of Social Law Library automation and advancement: The installation of a coin operated copier (1963) and microfilm reader (1972); construction of a micro-fiche production laboratory (1974); production of microfiche editions of the Supreme Judicial Court and Appeals Court Records & Briefs (1975); the Colonial Court Records Program, the nation’s first-ever program for the restoration, preservation and indexing of colonial court records (1975); installation of West Publishing Company’s computerized legal research system WESTLAW (1976); creation of the Copy Center (1984); first endowed book fund established (1984); LEXIS/NEXIS membership group program debuts, one of the first library-based LEXIS subscription services in the country (1986); first organization in the nation to publish state agency information on CD-ROM with publication of Mass. Administrative Law Library (1989), followed by publication of Mass. Substantive Law Library (1992); automation of the Social Law Library catalog with installation of the VTLS Library System (1993); introduction of the Social Law Library Website, <a href="http://www.socialaw.com/">www.socialaw.com</a> (1995); and creation of the TechCenter, providing public computer terminals for online research (1995). As a service to solo and small firm patrons challenged by the high cost of “going digital,” SLL in 1996 became an Internet Service Provider (ISP), and offered email services as well as Web-page design and hosting services (1996). Throughout these years and since, visiting judges, educators, practitioners and librarians have come from throughout the world to learn about the American system of law and the use of technology in legal research.<br /><br />A graduate of the University of Maine and the Boston College Law School, Mr. Bellefontaine was an extraordinary citizen of the scholarly, legal and law library communities. His published scholarship was on the subject of court rules and on early Massachusetts legal history. His publications include “Post-conviction Remedies under the Rules of Criminal Procedure” (1981); “The Early History of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court” (1990); “Chief Justice Francis Dana: Patriot and Federalist” (1992); “Waitstill Winthrop” (1995); “Honorable Isaac Addington: Fervent Public Servant and Reluctant Chief Justice” (1996); and “Samuel Sewall: The Last Puritan Justice” (1998). He served twenty-two years as a member of the Massachusetts Judicial Records Committee, and was founding Director of the Supreme Judicial Court Historical Society.<br /><br />In the mid-70’s he served as Reporter for the Massachusetts Judicial Conference Criminal Rules Project and as a Reporter for the Federal Speedy Trial Planning Group for the District of Massachusetts and the District of Rhode Island.<br /><br />He is a former President of the New England Law Library Consortium and the American Association of Law Libraries’ (AALL’s) State, Court & County Law Libraries Section. He also served on the Law Library Microform Consortium Executive Committee and on a number of AALL special projects and committees. He was also a former member of the Boston College Law School Alumni Council and recipient of its Daniel G. Holland Lifetime Achievement Award.<br /><br />In 1999 he received the highest distinction bestowed by the American Association of Law Libraries, the Miriam Gould Gallagher Distinguished Service Award. In addition, in 1996, in Edgar Bellefontaine’s honor, the Law Librarians of New England created and awarded him the inaugural Edgar Award for Innovation, Excellence and Dedication to the Practice of Law Librarianship. Other awards and recognitions extended to him include the AALL-SCCLL’s Bethany J. Ochal Award for Distinguished Service to the Profession, West Publishing Company’s Excellence in Government Law Librarianship Award, the Henry C. Lind Award of the Association of the Reporters of Judicial Decisions, and the Chief Justice’s Award for Distinguished Service to the Judiciary.<br /><br /> Founded more than two centuries ago, the Social Law Library is a cornerstone of the Massachusetts legal community—the “level playing field” of legal research essential to the administration of justice.

Lexis and Westlaw have created certification programs that test students' proficiency in on-line research on their particular platforms. Could we do something similar for other research skills? What Information Literacy Standards do we think are important for law students? Betsy McKenzie and Susan Vaughn presented this idea at an ABLL meeting this fall. Whether you were able to attend or not, we are looking to keep the conversation moving.<br /><br />We are hoping some of you can attend a breakfast meeting to discuss next steps.<br /><br />Items on the Agenda include:<br /><br /><ul><li>Review of the top 10 areas that local law librarians see a need for improved research skills. </li><li>Can we use the AALL Draft Information Literacy Standards for Law Students as a building block for a certification program? </li><li>Brainstorming ideas for law student trainings that could satisfy Information Literacy Standards, i.e. Boot-camps, Online Tutorials with quizzes, Advanced Legal Research classes, Library Workshops. </li></ul><p><br />Sound interesting?<br /><br />Where: <a href="http://www.law.suffolk.edu/about/map.cfm" target="_blank">Suffolk University Law School</a>,<br />120 Tremont St, Boston, MA<br />Moakley Law Library, Corcoran Room, 7th Floor<br /><br />When: Wednesday, Feb. 24th, 9-10:30 a.m.<br /><br />RSVP: Susan Vaughn at <a href="mailto:svaughn@suffolk.edu" target="_blank">svaughn@suffolk.edu</a> or 617-573-8199 (seating is limited).<br /><br />Breakfast will be served; so come hungry (for food as well as interesting conversation)!<br /><br /></p>Susan Vaughnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00585704771125789871noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9552103.post-46824850155304097362009-10-22T14:24:00.000-05:002009-10-22T14:25:54.647-05:00LLNE Newsletter: Call for Articles!Hello LLNE Members -<br /><br />The next issue of the LLNE News in is the works.

Following this brief presentation, we will have a round table to explore how firm and academic librarians can work together to better prepare new associates for the demands of real world research.<br /><br />Academic librarians - come and learn what firm librarians think we should be teaching! Firm librarians - come and hear about programs academic librarians are working on to teach students research skills!<br /><br />For more details, see the ABLL announcement at: <a href="http://www.abll.org/pdf/abllinviteoct2009.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.abll.org/pdf/abllinviteoct2009.pdf</a>Susan Vaughnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00585704771125789871noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9552103.post-28448022385880871932009-09-14T10:42:00.001-05:002009-09-14T10:43:59.082-05:00Morningstar Document Research<a name="OLE_LINK1">10-K Wizard is now Morningstar Document Research.
