15 Law Lines 1 (1990-1991)

handle is hein.lbr/lalins0015 and id is 1 raw text is: LAG September 1990 FROM THE PRESIDENT By: Martha Goldman, Jones Day, Reavis & Pogue You might say that I'm an Old Timer. I've been a law librarian for 14 years and have answered to different names: Martha from Milbank, Martha from Cravath, Martha from Kelley Drye, Martha from CBS and Martha from Jones, Day. But during this time one constant has remained: Martha, LLAGNY member. I cannot fathom being a law librarian in New York City without being involved in some way with our organization. It is difficult to imagine a professional law library career without the support and resources of LLAGNY. Perhaps my commitment to LLAGNY and the experience of having served on the Board of Directors twice in the early 1980's has IN THIS ISSUE From The President................ ..... 1 Editor's Note...... .. ................4 Membership News..............4 Treasurer's Report.. ...................9 1990 Membership Directory.......... ......9 Union List Update..............9 Associate Directors Meetings. ............10 Professional Reading............ .......11 Social Night. .........................13 Uptown Luncheon....................14 Scholarship & Grants Awards Winners ......... 15 Internship Program.......................15 Sale of Chapter Items atAALL........ ....15 ALLUNY/LLAGNY Meeting................16 CARLLIALL Joint Conference .............. 17 Downtown Luncheon.................. 18 Call For Volunteers ....... ............ 20 Largesse....po....................... 21 Reference Questions & Answers.......... 22 Fountain House; Another Excellent Source of Support Staff..................... 22 Continuing Education Calendar..................24 Educational Meeting....................26 ,/Volume 15, No. 1 0 imbued me with a particular perspective. I have always enjoyed getting involved in our Chapter at some level when time permits. Lately, I have heard two disturbing comments: LLAGNY is so large that new members feel lost and members of long standing don't know anyone anymore. Yes, it is impossible to know everyone in this Chapter and we often tend to stick to our groups of friends at a meeting or social function (assuming you attend which is the first hurdle). Personally, I consider it an achieve- ment if I meet five new people at a LLAGNY event. Yet, do you recall how good you felt the last time you were able to match a name with a voice, or finally meet that person who helped you with a particularly difficult bit of library business? New Yorkers are busy. Sometimes I think we work faster and harder than anyone else. These days, the clich6 that one of the keys to success is not what you know but who you know is truer than ever. How can you take advantage of this statement to further your own objectives and expand your horizons? Take a little bit of time and use it well by attending a LLAGNY event. To my pals who have been around for awhile, I suggest renewing acquaintances. Look around you. Take the initiative and introduce yourself to someone you haven't met previously. There are hundred of members you don't know who can possibly enrich your work life. To new members who may be hesitant to attend an event because you don't know many people, I suggest attending a small event if a big meeting seems overwhelm- ing. You can make some great contacts, learn something and start to reap the benefits of paying your membership dues. LLAGNY is more than interlibrary loan - we are a network at many levels. What's the first event this year? I'll be there. I want to meet new members and members I haven't met before. I'll also be greeting old acquaintances and former colleagues. Now that we've said hello to each other, say hello to someone new. This could catch on. See you then! LAW LES U LAW LINES
