Trigger, Tenzer, Greenblatt, Fallon & Kaplan At the beginning of the last elective year, the Officers and Board of Directors aimed at increasing the participation of each member and providing the best possible programs during the coming year. Our goal this year remains the same! At our first Executive Board meeting of 1993/1994 Paulette Toth, our Past President, outlined the goals, strategic plan, and accomplishments of her presidency: board members were freed from the responsibility of chairing committees, allowing the Board to become more active and committees more autonomous, reducing the perception that close-knit IN THIS ISSUE President's Letter ........................ 1 Call for Volunteers............... .........3 Union List Update. ................. ......6 Summary of Action Taken LLAGNY Board Meeting.................6 Education Programs 1993/94.........................6 MCLE Committee Meets...................8 AALL 86th Annual Meeting Electronic Networking: Bringing Everyone into the Next Generation ....... ..........8 HIV and AIDS: the Next Generation is Now.........10 MARC and OPACs Undergo Improvements.........12 Modifying LC Classification for the Smaller Law Collection .................. 14 Move Over Madison Avenue ..............14 Moving Forward: Reconceptualizing Resources and Services in Recessionary Times ............... 16 Positioning the Law Library Within the Larger Organization.................... 18 1993 LLAGNY Union List Order Form/Invoice.........13 Spotlight on You.........................19 Wanted: Internet Access ..................20 LLAGNY Job Hotline Job Listing Form ................21 t rgesse .................... ........22 AGNYHotlines.............................22 Continuing Education Calendar 1993 .................22 Volume 18, No. 1 groups manage the Association. Instead, Board members became liaisons between committees and Board, bettering communication between the Board and each committee. A Leadership Seminar was presented by a profes- sional management consultant to the Officers, Board, committee chairs and interested LLAGNY members. This seminar led to the creation of a new mission statement, and to a greater awareness of the limita- tions and potential of our Association. Several weeks later, in an open meeting, LLAGNY members voiced their opinions about numerous topics. A survey published in Law Lines and distributed at subsequent meetings provided another source of feedback to the Board concerning the direction of LLAGNY. The Board reviewed the various suggestions and incorpor- ated them into programs or policy whenever possible. Meanwhile, the Board supported the Technology Committee in its search for a vendor to supply an online database capable of carrying e-mail and storing as much of LLAGNY's data as possible. This technology will enable LLAGNY members to communicate with each other, and eventually, through the Internet. Vendors generously contributed to the funding of traditional events, such as the Holiday and June dinners, the Intern Luncheon, Friday afternoon teas, Education Meetings and Scholarship and Grant Awards. To represent law librarians in the marketplace, the LLAGNY leadership held meetings with vendor executives to increase the vendors' awareness of LLAGNY's programs. The challenge for this year's Board is to continue its leadership role. We began our second meeting by receiving a report from Terri Wrenn, Head Librarian with Morrison & Foerster, on the proposed Vendor Relations Committee. The need for this committee, which will develop a consistent relationship between the law library community and its vendors, was recognized by the Board and unanimously supported. During the next two months, this committee will notify the membership of its plans through articles in Law Lines. Continued on Page 4 W I LIGNE
