handle is hein.lbr/lisp0005 and id is 1 raw text is: American Assodlian of Law tjiaries LISP NEWSLETTER LEGAL INFORMATION SERVICE TO THE PUBLIC SPECIAL INTEREST SECTION VOLLIME-5 NO. I FALL 1992 LETTER FROM THE CHAIR One Person Can Make a Difference I am starting off my new term as chair of LISP by asking a personal commitment from each member of our SIS and each reader of the LISP NEWSLETTER: reach out to your public library. One of the ways we can improve access to legal information to the public is by improving the public librarian's knowledge of legal research and materials. And one way to improve the public librarian's knowledge of legal research and materials is by improving the librarian's relationship with a law librarian. If you have not already done so, make personal contact with a local public librarian. Volunteer to be that librarian's resource for legal materials and research. Set a goal to make that one small step this year. If you already know a local public librarianthen set a goal to do one good deed for the library this year. Conduct a workshop on legal research. If that seems too much, then teach a public librarian how to use, say, the United States Code, or Federal Register, or state statutes. Assist a public library improve its collection of legal materials: help draft a collection development policy, or walk through the reference shelves and note weeding or purchasing selections, or even give the librarians a subscription to LISP News! Let me know your progress. In later NEWSLETTERS, I'll publish your efforts and the efforts of your colleagues. No matter how small the step, it's still one step closer to the goal of community-wide access to legal information. Regarding LISP SIS business, I would like to thank Kathy Garner, Julie nim, and Mary Ann Nelson for providing leadership to the SIS during 1991/92. Also many thanks to Karlye Pillai for chairing the Program Committee for the Boston meeting in 1993. Karlye and her committee have developed intriguing and exciting program
