Summer in Boston can be very pleasant. Despite warnings about the hot and humid
weather that brought piles of luggage packed with summer clothes, we had a nice cold
week and shopped for winter sweaters and umbrellas.
Thanks mostly to Jean Wenger, FCIL-SIS past president, the hottest things in Boston
during the Annual Meeting were actually the seven FCIL-sponsored programs. These
included: Islamic law, European Union at a Crossroads, and How to Find Foreign Law,
Current Appraisal of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Legal Research, Research Training
and Collections for Foreign-Trained Lawyers and International LLM Students, and
Treaty-Making-Really.
The first workshop in a series (I hope!) of eight, Shopping in the Global Marketplace:
Information Sources for International Trade was successful. Mark Engsberg and Dan
Wade did a great job organizing it and making it a reality. At the same time, Milagros
Santos-Ong, the Director of Libraries at the Supreme Court of the Philippines and the
2004 Recipient of the Ellen Schaffer Foreign Librarian's Grant, graciously acknowledged
her immense delight to be with us. We have to thank Ellen Schaffer personally as well as
Nona K. Beisenherz, the Chair of Schaffer Grant Committee, for their hard work in
making this event possible. I have to add our honor of hosting Senator The Hon.
Professor Velma Newton, SCM, Law Librarian of the University of the West Indies, Cave
Hill Campus, who presented a lecture on Caribbean Legal Materials.
