53 Chi. L. Libr. Bull. 1 (August 1974)

handle is hein.journals/callbu53 and id is 1 raw text is: CHICAGO LAW LIBRARY BULLETIN CHICAGO ASSOCIATION OF LAW LIBRARIES No. 53 August, 1974 FROM THE PRESIDENT Alfred V. Kulys is extremely pleased and surprised that so many members are showing an active interest and willingness to work on committees this year. The appointments of 1974-75 committee chairmen and members is completed but if any individual is still interested in serving, please contact him at 670-2950. He proposed four major areas of activity for CALL this year: 1) The Constitutional-By-Laws Committee will complete the revision of the *constitution and submit it for adoption. 2) A Special Committee was created to survey and report on what cooperative projects can be instituted; e.g., a union list of periodicals, a union catalog, microfilming the Illinois Supreme & Appellate court reports and briefs. Gayle Edelman is chairperson; Anna Baker & Dianne Witkowski, members. 3) The Education Committee is conducting monthly workshops and lectures for primary law library instruction. For basic level education, it is planning an institute in Springfield on Illinois documents. And the successful completion of the Micrographics Institute by Bill Powers has generated great demand to hold a second national level institute. 4) Special emphasis will be placed on new members: (a) what functions CALL performs for them & what reciprocal contributions they can make; (b) what constitutes professionalism in employer-employee relations; i.e., what services are due the employer and what the employee deserves in the way of time off to attend meetings and payment of membership fees. In conjunction with this, the Placement Committee will survey local law library salaries in comparison with the national average, evaluate the data, and make its recommendations for improvements to the Executive Board. SUMMARY OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING July 31, 1974 At the present time the Association has $895.11 in its account. Forty-five members have paid their dues to date for a total of $180.00. A check was received from the Micrographics Conference for $204.00. Since the first seminar has been conducted by the Education Committee and two others are now in the planning stages, the Executive Committee gave approval to the initiation of plans for a trip and program in October to Springfield. The formation of special committees to study local co-operative projects relating to law and libraries (examples: list of legal serials and union catalog) and the microfilming of Illinois Supreme Court Briefs and Reports were approved. Although salary information is often confidential and difficult to obtain, the Executive Committee discussed the value of such a survey to CALL members. The Placement Committee is to be asked to consider investigating the feasibility of and possible approaches to a salary survey. At the same time this committee could gather data already compiled by other national and/or professional associations. Topics for the annual institute were discussed. These included advanced micrographics, computer and information retrieval methods, administration and planning, and moving a law library. At the next Executive Committee meeting a chairman for the annual institute will be selected.
