6 Int'l Ass'n L. Libr. Bull. 1 (1962)

handle is hein.journals/ialibbul6 and id is 1 raw text is: INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF LAW LIBRARIES BULLETIN Editor: Professor Dr. B. LANDHEER Number VI December 1962. THE PRESIDENT' S LETTER Recently the Board of Directors of the International Associ- ation of Law Libraries took action on two matters of vital interest to members: (1) The Board of Directors decided that the next meeting of the Association be held in 1964. The meeting is scheduled for July 6 and 7 in London and July 9 and 10 at The Hague, and we hope to have a subsequent tour of the outstanding law libraries on the European Continent from July 11 to 23. The primary theme of the meeting will be to provide a basic acquaintance with essential phases of the emerging European law, to visit law libraries which are known to all of us by name, but have not been seen by most of us. A meeting of this nature is also excellently suited to establish personal contacts among law librarians of various countries -contacts which are lik ely to result in subsequent cooperation among law libraries on an international level. Your Vice.President, K. Howard Drake, has been appointed Convention Chairman, and in due course you will hear more from your officers concerning this unique opportunity to enrich your professonal knowledge and experience. (2) The Board of Directors decided to submit a constitutional amendment for your vote in order to increase the membership of the Board from 12 to 15. This increase is desired by many who feel that law librarians from a wider range of countries should be represented on the Board. The amendment would 'also have the incidental effect of providing for a gradual replacement of the Directors so as to assure continuity qf experience with Association work on the Board. The billot will be sent to you soon. There are other Association activities which are of interest to you. We have been able to make substantial progress with our Exchange Program. Dr. Siroana, or Rome, has finished herstay at Stanford University Law Library. Miss Rossier, of Lausanne, continues her work at Harvard Law Library and soon Dr. Klaus Lbffler, of Saarbr'cken will start a one-year internship at New York University Law Library with one month's work-assigned at the Los Angeles County Law Library. We have a tentative openiig f6r ai Asiatic law librarian at an American law school library and have been asked whether a non-European law librarian would be interested in an exchange librarianship in Switzerland. If you are interested in gathering foreign experiences, please get in touch with your officers.. Our Association is small in membershirp yet large in aims and purposes. With the devoted work of Dr. Landheer, we hope to publish our Bulletin on a quarterly schedule; whether we will be able to do so depends largely on the active cooperation of the Association' s members. Please send your contributions to Dr. Landheer and let us know what
