Where was I when the lights went out?
I just received the Librarian's Reference Point from CCH with a reference
to the AALL Membership Directory being available to MEMBERS for $65.
Excuse me?
I know AALL has working toward bringing in more money but enough is
enough. $60 for the salary survey and $20 for what was formerly Bettie
Scott's Price Index for Legal Publications? In one year members are
being asked to pay $145 for items we previously received as a benefit of
membership. That only leaves the monthly newsletter as "free" and how
long will that last? It's $50 to nonmembers -- will we be asked to pay
next year?
I remember the discussion about charging for Law Library Journal--when
were all these other charges discussed? Has being too darned poor to
attend the annual meeting meant I didn't get a chance to hear the
discussion or have I been totally derelict about reading my mail and the
AALL literature? I really don't remember seeing information about these
changes. And frankly I don't like them.
One document I would be willing to pay for is a very detailed, down
to the nitty-gritty, annual report from AALL. Does such a publication
exist?
