2004 NATIONAL LEGAL RESEARCH TEACH-IN
CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
The Twelfth Annual National Legal Research Teach-In will soon be upon us and we need YOUR contribution
Sponsored by RIPS-SIS, the Teach-In gives law librarians the opportunity to share materials and ideas for legal research instruction. Each year the
Teach-In committee creates a set of materials that can be used to design and advertise programs and events for our institutions. These materials are distributed several weeks prior to National Library Week in April to anyone interested in legal research instruction.
Over the past eleven years Teach-In materials have been distributed to an increasing number of interested people in diverse institutions all over the world. In 1993, for the first Teach-In, resource kits were distributed to 315 locations and promotional items (posters & bookmarks) went to about 200 people. A new record has been set each year, culminating in 2003 when resource kits were sent to over 700 people and over 20,000 notepads were used for promotional purposes! From these brief figures it is easy to see that the Teach-In has become an integral part of the law librarian landscape.
For ideas from past Teach-Ins, see the RIPS Teach-In web page at
<http://www.aallnet.org/sis/ripssis/teach_in.htm>
It is never too early to plan for success! Now is the time for YOU to become involved in the creation of these materials! Please take a few minutes to consider if you have research instruction materials (including teaching techniques, training scripts, lecture notes, outlines, handouts, exercises, lesson plans, user guides, pathfinders, research guides, or descriptions of past training events) that you could contribute. If you do or if you have comments or suggestions, please contact Gail Partin as soon as possible (but no later than January 16, 2004).
Thanks for making our twelfth Teach-In the best one yet!
