handle is hein.lbr/aafcnlt0005 and id is 1 raw text is: Volume 5 Number 1 October 1990 FCIL Newsletter Foreign, Comparative and International Law Special Interest Section, American Association of Law Libraries g.I NLRC Plans Workshop on FCI Law Librarian Training Claire Germain Duke University Law Library The National Legal Resources Committee (NLRC) of AALL has proposed to sponsor a one-and-a-half day workshop to discuss the training of foreign and international law librarians. The workshop is planned for March 1991 to be held at the Library of Congress Law Library. It will have representation from all interested constituencies of the profession: law firm libraries, government libraries, and academic libraries. Both invited participants and committee members will be expected to write issue briefs as background for workshop discussions. Workshop participants will look at what AALL can do beyond the established and planned activities of the FCIL SIS Education Committee and the FCIL SIS Five-Year Plan (see pages 5- 7 of the May 1990 issue of this newsletter for a summary of the SIS's educational activities), to provide comprehensive and thorough training NLRC, to page 3 CONTENTS FCI Law Librarian Training - 1 Bylaws Amended - 2 Discovering Guatemala - 3 Information Sources - 4 Foreign Law Students Directory - 4 German Reunification - 5 Business Meeting Minutes - 6 Working Groups Reports - 7 Law of Europe Classification - 9 Caribbean Legal Information - 10 Freebies - 10 Newlin Collection at Virginia - 11 From the Editor On the advice of the Publications Committee, the series on unique and strong foreign law collections is being continued - with a twist. It shifts from being jurisdiction-oriented to subject-oriented. I sought the Committee's opinions during its meeting last June (being chair I was able to set the agenda). Thus, Margaret Aycock's article on the Newlin Collection at Virginia. Three other collections were suggested and I will follow up these suggestions. I hope I get as willing and cooperative a response from them as I received from Margaret. Other ideas came out of that group. These are: an article on transnational environmental law, some tips about vendors, and some mentoring articles. If you can write on environmental law, I will appreciate hearing from you. The tips about vendors can be one- or two-paragraph items like the ideas on information sources that some of you have been sending in. This issue also introduces some cosmetic changes. The banner does not Involve a title change, it is just re-designed. The crisper typography is a result of an updated version of First Publisher. M.
