33 SCCLL News 1 (2007)

handle is hein.lbr/alsclnws0033 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 I fl4~iVt fVIlss~ ~ Pr~4He~ of th~ 2OO1~ ~C~LL ~t~did4te~ * ThThTv~tion ~ ~ £ M~v~ ~f the Mpot~n8 LaW ~ View from the Chair Catherine Lemann, SCCLL Chair We're about halfway between AALL conferences. In my last communication, I wrote about the successful 2006 meeting in St. Louis. It's now time to at least begin thinking of the 2007 meeting in New Orleans. The Education committee, ably chaired by Connie Von Der Heide, had five programs accepted. Additionally, after the successful SCCLL sponsored Centennial program last year, the Executive Board approved sponsoring two programs as alternatives to annual meeting selected programs. Thanks to the committee and program proposers for a terrific lineup. Don't forget to use the preliminary program and descriptions on the SCCLL website to educate your supervisors on the benefits of the annual meeting to you and your organization. The Grants committee, chaired by Katrina Piechnik, will be publicizing the availability of five grants to fund travel to the annual meeting. The board has generally decided that funding a few grants at a generous amount is more likely to enable our members to travel to the conference. Katrina also suggested that we consider re-gifting holiday items to the SCCLL auction. It's time to consider nominating VIPs to attend the annual meeting. The Valuable Invited Participants program is an opportunity for us to showcase what we do to colleagues in related fields. Last year's VIPs were Boyd Burnison, Alameda County Law Library, and Kathleen Gaylord, Dakota County Law Library. VIPs can be trustees, your supervisor, a law library supporter, court staff, or anyone you think would benefit from learning more about law librarians do. Please let me know (clemann@courts.state.ak.us) if you can suggest a VIP and I will pass the names on to the committee. SCCLL members work for a variety of libraries: federal court, state court, counties, appellate court, trial court, attorneys general, libraries managed by trustees, libraries part of an integrated court system, solo librarians, part-time librarians, libraries with a large staff, etc. SCCLL is always looking for ways to align librarians with similar problems or situations to discuss issues. Groups of librarians who work for Attorneys General, librarians who have trustees, and state law librarians meet during the Annual Meeting. Because networking is one of the main benefits of the conference, these opportunities to connect can be some of the most valuable of the many chances to interact with other state, court, and county librarians. Be sure to sign up for these extra events. I realize how busy everyone is but if you have written an article or need an idea for an article, take a look at the list created by the AALL Publishing Initiatives Caucus. See, http// baseportal.com/cgi-bin/baseportal.pl?htx=/Publishing Initiatives/main. This can also be helpful if you need to give a presentation and want something different to talk about. Some of the articles are full text so you can even get some specific content ideas. Winter is a time when many of us hibernate to avoid the weather. January can present many new beginnings with legislative sessions, school terms, and New Year's resolutions. I hope that you will call on your SCCLL support team during the year whenever we can help. There is definitely strength in numbers!
