handle is hein.lbr/aallrips0027 and id is 1 raw text is: 0.5 RIPResearch Instruction & Patron Services SIS Law Librarian Volume 25, Number 1 A Special Interest Section o f the American Association of Law Libraries Fall /Winter Message From the Chair...D.R. Jones I would like to thank all the RIPS members who coordinated the many activities of the SIS during the Annual Meeting in Orlando. From early morning to early evening during the conference RIPS members chaired committee meetings, presented programs and moderated roundtable discussions. The work of the members at the Annual Meeting carries forward into the new SIS year. The Committee with the biggest challenge is the RIPS Program Committee, which faces tight deadlines for program pro - posal submissions. This year the committee, lead by Jessie Cranford, submitted a strong slate of proposals for the Annual Meeting in Seattle. Jessie ' s report regarding these programs is presented in this newslet- ter. Thanks to Jessie for her coordination of the preparation and sub - mission of programs, and to the program creators for their efforts. For the upcoming year, I would like to focus on the following: The RIPS Website. The website for our SIS came into being in 1998 through the efforts of Bobbie Studwell and volunteers. After four years, it is time to redevelop the website and consider its function for the SIS. Currently Melissa Serfass is cleaning up the current site by updating in - formation and making some basic design changes. Watch for an an- nouncement concerning the update. This work is part of a year -long fo- cus on the website. I want to examine the purpose of the website and how the website can serve the needs of the SIS and its members. There are many websites out there - all of the AALL SISs and Chapters have websites, and libraries have their own websites. What is the purpose of the RIPS website? What content should we include? How can it be maintained? We will be seeking your input this year as we progress with this project, and will be determining what the other SISs are doing (Continued on page 2) Inside this issue: Message Rrom the Chair Business Meeting Minuites RIPS program proposals 6-9 Membership News Teach -In Teaching US Legall Research.
