WELCOME TO THE NEW LISP NEWSLETTER!

This is the first issue of the web-format LISP SIS Newsletter. We hope you like it and find it useful and
accessible. Please send your submissions, comments and suggestions directly to me, John Adkins, LISP
Newsletter Editor, USD Legal Research Center, 5998 Alcala Park, San Diego, CA 92110
(adkinsgacusd.edu). I really welcome and appreciate your input!

FROM   THE  CHAIR

Welcome  to the newsletter of the Legal Information Services to the Public Special Interest Section of
AALL!  We  are proud to announce that we are the first SIS to produce and distribute a newsletter that is
totally electronic. As an e-journal, the information is written and designed for electronic dissemination.
While a few readers may receive a paper copy, that would be understood to be a printout of the actual
electronic newsletter.

Newsletter Editor John Adkins at University of San Diego Legal Research Center has created a highly
anticipated resource that is such an important part of this SIS. Librarians will receive an e-mail message
announcing the availability of the latest issue, with a link directly to the web page where the newsletter
can be found. This allows us to get the information to you quickly, with savings on printing and postage,
in a format the great majority of our members look forward to. Please give your feedback to John. I want
to give my special thanks to Sharon Blackburn at Texas Tech University Law Library for all her hard
work in sorting through and shepherding the numerous ideas for LISP-sponsored programs for AALL.
Six excellent proposals were sent forward, including programs on Genetic Discrimination and on the
Public Library/Law Library Interface. Our top two ranked programs were accepted, so we look forward
to Washington, D.C. and LISP programs on Internet Reference and the Non-Lawyer. As members of
LISP, you are undoubtedly interested in Quality Customer Service, so I hope you will make it a point to
participate in AALL's satellite video conference on that topic, to be held Thursday, April 15, 12-1:30 pm
ET. For a downlink site near you, check http://www.aallnet.org/prodev/event satellite.asp The video
conference, the AALL annual meeting, and this newsletter are vital ways for all of us to continue to
strengthen our Legal Information Services to the Public.
