1 PLL Persp. 1 (1989-1990)

handle is hein.lbr/aaplper0001 and id is 1 raw text is: AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF LAW LIBRARIES / PRIVATE LAW LIBRARIES SIS Volume 1 Issue 1 September/October, 1989 Presenting PLL Perpectives Sabrina I. Pacifici, Editor You hold in your hands the charter issue of PLL Perspectives. You may have missed the profile of our newsletter in People Weekly or on Entertainment Tonight, so I will now en- lighten you regarding its content. Perusing the pages of this fledgling issue, you will find a number of articles on a variety of programs from the AALL Annual Meeting in Reno. Also included are columns on library promotion, computer technology, and news of upcoming educational programs and events. Well, quit applauding, and send me articles! Seriously, the best way to show your support and enthu- siasm is to contribute articles to upcoming issues. Without your efforts, the newsletter will be devoid of all content. PLL Perspectives exists to serve as a national forum for the exchange of ideas, concerns and professional expertise among our members. Please become involved in making this newsletter a valuable information resource for our membership. I have only just begun to scratch the sur- face of the world that is desktop publishing, so this issue represents a starting point. I am producing the newsletter using WordPerfect 5.0, Aldus Pagemaker, and an HP Laser Jet II. A Scan Man hand scanner and Paint Show Plus software were used for transferring graphics into the newsletter. If you are famil- iar with these programs, or are involved with desktop publishing, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. If you come across any interesting copyright free graphics, please send them on to me. I would like to develop a file of them for use in future issues. The content and style of the newsletter will neces- sarily evolve over time as more private law li- brarians contribute their perspectives on pertinent issues. My address, telephone and fax numbers are on the back cover, so please call, write, or fax me with your ideas and contributions. Interesting topics which lend themselves to discussion in an article include: personnel management and evaluation; space planning and library relocations; new computer applica- tions for the library; teaching legal research methods; and research in specialized areas of law. An interest has been expressed in a col- umn on tips for answering that impossible reference question, sort of a reference ques- tion of the month. If you have encountered any such questions lately, please take a mo- ment to write a description of the question and answer, and forward it to me with your name, firm, address, and telephone number. As I know you can hardly wait to begin reading, I'd like to briefly take the opportunity to thank all those who contributed articles for what will no doubt become a collector's item. Thanks also go to Immediate Past Chairman Susanne Gehringer, and to current Chairman, Pat Strougal, for all their support. Special thanks must also go to Lynn Kerr, Jeff Bosh, Wyman Colona and John Mathews of my library staff. Now, Go! READ! ENJOY! I
