James Durham, GLL-SIS Chair, Thurgood Marshall State Law Library of Maryland
Greetings, government law librarians! Welcome to our GLL News issue for
winter of 2021.
The GLL-SIS Board and all of our GLL-SIS committees have been very busy.
First, I want to thank Sara Pic, our editor, for assembling the previous GLL
News issue - and to express my gratitude to all who contributed to that
publication, which was dedicated to the topics of racial equality and social
justice. The combination of personal stories of members, research sources
on anti-racism, and relevant book reviews was both powerful and instructive.
Thanks also to those who contributed to our holiday fundraiser. We collected
$670.00 for the George A. Strait Minority Scholarship & Fellowship, which will
help fund paid fellowships in a law library with additional benefits such as
mentorship, an AALL annual membership, and registration for an AALL
Annual Conference. I appreciate that some of you were able to contribute,
despite a year characterized by strained
budgets at work and at home.
Based on a suggestion from Emily
S    Feltren, AALL Director of Government
Relations, a GLL-SIS planning
committee convened to organize a
webinar called Government Law
Library Funding: Advocacy Training for
Law Libraries. A panel of three
provided commentary on funding at
county, state, and federal law libraries:
Jean L. Willis from Sacramento County
Public Law Library, Miriam D. Childs
from the Law Library of Louisiana, and
Suzanne B. Corriell from the U.S. Court
