Books and Bytes: Balancing Formats in Today's Libraries
A Listserv Discussion -- April 17 - 21, 2000
How in the world do librarians make the right decisions that will give their
clients the appropriately balanced collection of information? Is the balance
selected for them appropriate? What considerations affect the balance for a
particular library in a particular organization?
AALL is pleased to announce that Joan Axelroth, lead instructor for AALL's
video teleconference, Books and Bytes: Balancing Formats in Today's
Libraries, which will be broadcast on Thursday, April 13, will be leading
the Professional Development Committee's next moderated discussion list.
Scheduled to run from April 17 through April 21, the listserv will provide
an opportunity for all to share their experiences, ask their questions, and
receive more advice on collection development.

The AALL Professional Development Listservs are designed to promote
information exchange on current issues in law librarianship. Each
discussion is limited to a set period and the listserv is purged at the end
of this period. A Web archive of earlier discussions is available.
The AALL Professional Development Program provides AALL members and
non-members with readily available, high-quality, and timely educational
programs, publications, and services in a variety of formats, using all
available and future technologies in order to enable members to remain
current in the profession of law librarianship and to provide non-members
with comparable educational opportunities in our area of expertise.
The American Association of Law Libraries was founded in 1906 to promote and
enhance the value of law libraries to the legal and public communities, to
foster the profession of law librarianship, and to provide leadership in the
field of legal information. Today, with over 4,600 members, the Association
represents law librarians and related professionals who are affiliated with
a wide range of institutions: law firms; law schools; corporate legal
departments; courts; and local, state, and federal government agencies. For
