13 Law Lines 1 (1988-1989)

handle is hein.lbr/lalins0013 and id is 1 raw text is: -*LAWVV LIN*~ES .ewshotter o 11agny VL T. - /_31~ f 70 no ~lltM90 9 ICC C~ (C ~ C~ PRESIDENT'S LETTER After serving on jury duty for several days, I returned to my firm to find that in my absence it had been strongly suggested by a senior partner that I incorporate 84 linear feet of books that had been housed in a satellite library into the main library collection. Faced with such a request, knowing that I have exactly six months growth at the end of Federal Supplement and Federal Reporter, and no growth at all in my treatise collection, I began to wonder whatever possessed me to become a law librarian. Fortunately, not too much later I received a telephone call from a librarian who was looking for some information. In that librarian I found someone who was willing and able to commiserate with me, as well as offering moral support and practical advice. It's at times like these that I really love LLAGNY. I love that there is a community of people who know and understand what I do, and what my problems are, and even more, are always willing to help. Now, I won't say that I've never had a nasty, unhelpful librarian on the phone, but those times are so few, and the times that I have been awed by the generosity, frankness, and -true kindness of my fellow librarians are intoxicatingly common. It's this spirit of cooperation that I'd like to see grow even more this year. We are professionals in a field that is undergoing great change, and we owe it to our patrons, ourselves, and the profession of librarianship to be motivated and open and enthusiastic. I think the best way to do this is to be active in the Association. LLAGNY and AALL are the catalysts that keep me excited about the challenge of law librarianship because they have never failed to provide a stimulating forum for the exchange of ideas. There's truly not an educational program or luncheon or seminar that doesn't leave me with some piece of new information or some new idea to think about. continued on page 3
