Within earshot of the Magic Kingdom, the usual madness and splendor of a mass gathering of law librarians played itself out in the southern California sun to the theme of New Horizons, and the Micrographics-Audio/Visual Special Interest Section was as much a part of the goings-on than ever before. Though the usual seven core members were not all present, as stalwarts Terrence McCormack (SUNY Buffalo) and Gary Bravy (Georgetown) remained unicoastal and stayed home, the presence of the M-A/V SIS was felt from every corner of the convention. To start with, the Conference of Newer Law Librarians (CONELL) held its Marketplace on Saturday, I am Fichen July 11. As they made the rounds to each SIS table, all new members were obliged to answer a question submitted by each SIS prior V Fp on, a Volume 19 No. 1 Winter 1999 FREE l to the convention. Our question was: What SIS is most likely to help you with 24x, 16mm, Hi8, S-VHS and DVD? Okay, not exactly a conundrum, but it did get people thinking about us. A couple of people expressed an interest in the Section, but none showed any desire to join. Still it was a good opportunity to get enmeshed with AALL happenings. Throughout most of the conference the M-A/V SIS table in the Activities Area of the Exhibit Hall was staffed, featuring law- related motion pictures on video and a promotional clip of the Social Law Library's Oral History Project. At the table sat either outgoing chair Laura Ray (Cleveland-Marshall) or old faithful John Pedini (Social Law Library). Laura would radiate her usual warmth and grace as she knowledgeably answered the questions of passers-by while John was particularly apprehensive about his presentation for the 14' of July, E-6 In Their Own Words: Videotaping Oral History. In his thirteen or so years of attending the national meetings, it was the first time he was actually presenting a program, so naturally he was very anxious to do a good job. It would not be, however, his big moment dore me! in the spotlight. That would come from a part he played in another program that will be forever linked to his professional legacy.
