35 SCCLL News 1 (2009)

handle is hein.lbr/alsclnws0035 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 0 200 O~fficer Nomiinee, 0 The SCCLL Toolklt View From The Chair Marcus Hochstetler, SCCLL Chair A new day has arrived for our country with the inauguration of a new President. It is also a new day in some of our states with new legislation taking effect alter- ing the way we do business. Nowhere is this more evident than in Ohio where HB420 was passed which attempts to repair some of the damage done by legisla- tion in 2005 to the County law libraries. The new bill establishes the law library as more integrated with County functions. Angela Baldree explains some of the implications for the new law in this issue. The SCCLL Awards Committee is accepting nominations for the newly-created Law Library Advocate Award. This new SCCLL award acknowledges and hon- ors those individuals who are not part of our library staff but who advocate on behalf of our libraries. The Committee is also seeking nominations for the Beth- any J. Ochal Award for Distinguished Service to the Profession. The Ochal Award recognizes the significant contribution to the profession of a librarian who is recently retired or nearing the end of his or her library career. The Special committee on County Law Libraries, lead by Larry Meyer and Laura Orr, is busy looking at ways to reach out to small county law libraries that may not be SCCLL or AALL members. The strength of our section is our commit- ment to help one another through these hard times, from which no one is im- mune. To help us focus on advocacy, we can use the AALL Government Rela- tions Committee. They are sponsoring a full day workshop on Friday, July 24th in D.C. called AALL Day on the Hill: Legislative Advocacy Leadership Training 2009. This comes at a critical time in our efforts to keep our collective boats afloat in the tides of a down economy. Our libraries could be some of the first to see major hits to the bottom line. We are grateful for those who are willing to run for the SCCLL Board this year. These members include the following: For Chair Elect: Kathy Carlson of the Wyoming State Law Library and Barbara Fritschel of the U.S. Courts Library, Milwaukee and For Member-at-Large: Joan Bellistri of the Anne Arundel Public Law Library in Maryland and Georgia Chadwick of the Louisiana State Law Li- brary in New Orleans. Thanks to everyone who has agreed to run for leadership
