handle is hein.lbr/alsclnws0032 and id is 1 raw text is: I A Newsletter of the State, Court and County Special Interest Section of the American Association of Law Libraries Don't Miss: rn~ the 5Dth UQ1cudV View from the Chair Barbara Golden, SCCLL Chair AALL election results were posted in December and SCCLL had a remarkable showing against respected firm librarians. Congratulations go to Ann T. Fessenden, incoming AALL Vice President/President-Elect, and Cornell H. Winston, incoming AALL Executive Board member. Ann and Cornell will join fellow SCCLL member Steven P. Anderson on the Board in July, when Kathy Carlson leaves the Board after three years of exemplary service. We have reached the middle of the Association year and SCCLL committees are busy. Here are a few ways that other members can help. ADVOCATE for libraries. This is Standard Operating Procedure for SCCLL members, but I follow in the footsteps of past presidents Mike Miller, Charley Dyer, and Sandy Marz in saying that grassroots advocacy is the key to turning budget challenges into opportunities. Many SCCLL members have faced funding challenges in the last few years. To be stronger, we need to share our experiences. SCCLL/AALL can help but early warning is crucial. If you would like to be a member of the advocacy network, contact Publicity Committee member Larry Meyer (larrym@sblawlibrary.org). CELEBRATE with AALL. Use the centennial of our professional organization to toot your own horn. During National Library Week, on Law Day, or another significant date, take time to highlight your library's history and its significance to your organization. This is also a fun way to advocate for your library. And share your stories in the Awards section of the SCCLL website. INQUIRE and INFORM through the SCCLL listserv and website. The Technology Committee has been adding materials to the Toolbox section of the web site (http://www.aallnet.org/ sis/sccll/). More is needed, especially advocacy strategies. Some of the new additions to the website are summaries of listserv discussions. Keep on asking those big questions. NOMINATE that special SCCLL member for the Bethany J. Ochal Award for Distinguished Service to the Profession. This is a person who has made a significant contribution to law librarianship and who is nearing the end of his or her library career, or who has recently retired. Criteria for receiving this award include service to the profession of law librarianship, contributions to legal research, teaching and outreach efforts, and recognition by members of the legal or government community. For more information, contact Awards Chair Fran Jones (fran.jones@jud.ca.gov). SPONSOR or SUGGEST a VIP (Valuable Invited Participant) for attendance at the AALL Conference in St. Louis. I enthusiastically endorse this program and am urging all SCCLL members who are planning on attending the AALL Centennial bash to invite VIP guests. It is a win-win situation. The VIPs have fun and our libraries reap future benefits. This has certainly been the case for my library and Chapter VIPs. We are so lucky to be part of a national organization that encourages us to invite members of our community to our annual meeting. SCCLL hopes to sponsor two VIPs this year. One VIP will speak at the Trustee's (View from the Chair continued on page 2)
