handle is hein.aallar/aallnl0024 and id is 1 raw text is: American Association of Law Libraries Newsletter September 1992 ISSN: 0572-4953 AALL in San Francisco Mary McNulty Editor With one of the world's most picturesque cities as the backdrop, AALL held its 85th Annual Meeting in San Francisco in July. The hours, days, and months of meticulous planning produced an Annual Meeting that moved like the proverbial well-oiled wheel. In this case, the wheel was attached to a Rolls Royce. The key word was elegance and it was evident in every facet of the Annual Meeting. The Local Arrangements Committee: Joan Howland, Virginia Kelsh, Constance Scott, Marian Shostrom, Nora Skrukrud, Hazel Johnson, Donna Purvis, Teresa Oppedal, Judy Janes, Nancy Lewis, Donna Williams, Edward Hosey, Molly McCluer, James Moldovan, Lee Ryan, Linda Spath, Mary Hood, Mark Mackler, Lauri Flynn, Jean Aronovitz, Janice Kelly, Alice McKenzie, Lynn Lundstrom, Gail Winson, Yvonne Boyer and everyone who worked with them, brought an air of sophistication to each event. The Closing Banquet, billed as Black and White and Candlelight, was the crowning glory with those in attendance bedecked in a dizzying array of black and white attire. And asking Bob Berring to be the Master of Ceremonies was a stroke of genius. Mary Oliver, recipient of the Marian Gould Gallagher Distinguished Service Award, also received a well-deserved round of applause for her years in the profession (and for her wry wit at the podium) at the President's Luncheon in San Francisco. A record-breaking 2,916 members, exhibitors, staff and invited guests were in attendance, and Joan and Virginia endeavored to hand each and everyone of them a piece of Ghiradelli chocolate (sometimes two or three). The Exhibit Hall boasted 209 booths sponsored by 142 finns. (Chocolate was a popular item in the Exhibit Halls, too). In spite of all the times in the last year that we heard or read Mark Twain's witticism about spending his coldest winter in San Francisco one summer, the weather behaved beautifully. It was perfect for taking on those hills to walk off the meals enjoyed in North Beach, Russian Hill, Chinatown, or any delicious eating establishment you may have found. The members of the Education Committee made managing 76 programs and workshops over a six-day period look so easy that it belied their two years of hard work. Congratulations to Patrick Kehoe, Chair; Lei Seeger, Vice Chair/Chair Desig- nate; Rhea A-L Ballard, Taylor Fitchett, Jean M. Holcomb, Mon Yin Lung, Sandra Marz, Roy M. Mersky, Jill Sidford, and Merle J. Slyhoff for a stellar presentation of continuing education choices. Once again, the most popular programs were the ones that help librarians do their jobs more efficiently and productively-The Art of Reference: Accountability and Quality Control; Credibility: How to Earn It, How to Keep it; The Unauthorized Practice of Law: Can You Stop Worrying and Help the Patron?; A Comparative Look at Copyright in the Library Setting; Online Subsystems; and E-mail Isn't Just a Substitute for Snailmail: A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Nets.
