From The Chair
Katherine Topulos
Duke University School of Law Library

It was great to see so many of you in Washington.
As you know the FCIL-SIS presented five suc-
cessful and well-attended programs this year, as
well as an all-day workshop at the Library of
Congress on the acquisition of foreign law materials.
The members of the SIS who proposed, coordi-
nated, and spoke at these programs and at the
workshop all deserve around of applause. The
workshop, which was aimed at experienced
librarians, was filled to capacity, indicating a desire
for programs at an advanced level. The Education
Committee annual meeting report in this newsletter
describes the programs that have been proposed
for next year. As soon as the Education Committee
learns which program have been accepted, the list
will be posted on the FCIL-SIS web site <http://
www.lawsch.uga.edu/fcil/fcil.hl>.
In addition to its programs, the SIS conducted
several working group and committee meetings,
culminating in the annual business meeting. You can
find reports from the chairs of these groups and
committees as well as minutes from the business
meeting in this issue of the newsletter.
The SIS also presented two special events: an
excellent program about Australian law and legal
research by our colleague Ruth Bird of the Univer-
sity of Melbourne Law Library, and a very informa-
tive visit to the U.S. Department of State to meet
staff members from the Office of the Legal Adviser
and the Treaty Affairs division. Thanks are due to
Odell Dehart and Tracy Thompson who organized
this visit.

The FCIL-SIS activities table was one of the
liveliest and most visited tables at the meeting.
Thanks to all who manned the table, and especially
to Jean Davis and Victoria Szymczak for their
creative marketing ideas.
