Where in the World Did You Find That? : Exploring Foreign and International Law Librarianship
As a law firm librarian, is foreign or international legal work brightening your horizon? As a law librarian who serves the public, are your patrons asking for foreign legal material to help them resolve family, estate, or immigration matters? Do you struggle to keep up with what foreign and international legal materials to collect (or maybe to cancel)? Would you like to learn more about foreign and international law librarianship?
AALL will be holding a list discussion with expert FCIL moderators Jean Wenger, Mary Rumsey and several “special guest moderators” (Anne Burnett, Beatrice Tice, Lyonette Louis-Jacques, and Katherine Topulos) on foreign/international law librarianship, April 12-25th, 2004.
We hope that the forum will satisfy the following AALL “Competencies of Law Librarianship”: 1.1. Demonstrate a strong commitment to excellent client service, 1.2 Address the diverse nature of the library's clients and community, 1.4. Demonstrate knowledge of the legal system and the legal profession, 1.5 Understand the social, political, and economic context in which the legal system exists, 1.15 Recognize the value of professional networking and actively participating in professional associations, and 1.16 Actively pursue personal and professional growth through continuing education.
3.3 Assist clients with legal research using both print and electronic resources
5.4 Understand the acquisition and management of a diverse collection of legal and non-legal resources in multiple formats
Most of all, we hope the forum will provide an interesting and informative discussion about foreign, comparative and international law. You are invited to join in - just click on this link: www.aallnet.org/prodev/listserv.asp to subscribe. If you encounter a problem, kindly contact Pam Deemer at libped@law.emory.edu.
The discussion is just for only two weeks, beginning April 12. After April 25, the list subscribers will be purged. Please note: Subscribers to past Career Development/Prodev forums, Prodev’s subscriber list is purged after each forum, so you will have to re-subscribe for this new one.
Please join in, and hear what your colleagues will be talking about during these two weeks.
