1998 ALLUNY Newsletter 1 (1998)

handle is hein.alluny/all1998 and id is 1 raw text is: ALLUNY Association of Law Libraries of Upstate New York - Chapter of the American Association of Law Libraries Vol. 23 No. I March 1998 Message from the President: Just recently (as I write this column) our elected leaders have been giving their State of the Union-type speeches. I thought this might be the appropriate time for me to report to you on the state of our association. Fortunately for you, I do not need to take an hour of your time to accomplish this function. Fortunately for all of us, the association is in very good shape at the moment. This reflects the hard work of many past and present individuals (including officers, board members, committee members, and active association members). We come off a series of excellent, relevant, and well-attended educational programs. Our last one, the annual conference held in Albany, may have been the best ever. Even in an era of downsizing, our membership stays steady. We have not raised our dues for many years now, and still our financial picture (with a treasury in excess of $ 10,000) remains solid. To summarize, we are a vibrant worthwhile association, a chapter we can all feel proud to be a member of. While our relatively modest membership size precludes us from taking on many new initiatives, what we have done in the past we continue to do well. In the coming year we plan on doing the following: * Publish a timely, informative newsletter * Continue to publish our membership directory * Host two worthwhile educational programs. This year's educational programs tentatively shape-up as follows: THINK SPRING INSTITUTE! May 15, 1998 The brand new classroom facilities of Syracuse University's McNaughton Hall will be our site for the 1998 Spring Institute. Spring Institute Chair Andrea FitzGerald has submitted a proposal to SU's IST (library school, that is) asking for a faculty member or two, who will speak on the 2 V century and changes that will impact on law librarians and law libraries. The focus of the program will be on planning, implementation and assessment of library services. We hope that this kind of continuing education program will combine exploration of visions for the future with practical tools we can use to get to that future. See the Spring Institute Announcement elsewhere in this issue for details. For more information, contact Andrea FitzGerald at 315/443-9562, or arfitz@law.syr.edu.
