I agree that it's really deplorable for AALL to offer nothing of specific
substance relating to NLW celebrations. As a private law firm librarian, I
often think that my AALL dues are largely wasted, since there's very little
that I get back from the organization as a whole that relates to my
professional needs and concerns, other than the benefit of belonging to the
PLL SIS. AALL spends an awful lot of money on various tasks forces and
legislative monitoring and networking...but when it comes down to it, it's
just too big and cumbersome an organization to provide much practical,
everyday benefit to the professional law librarian. [Hey, it's Friday, I'm
bored, and I feel like inciting a ruckus. Let's get some spirited
discussion going, and stop glutting the lines with all those "reference
help" e-mails!!!]
