Happy New Year! Hopefully your 1998 had started well and brings with it enthusiasm and optimism for the law library profession!
1998 marks the sixth year of the National Legal Research Teach-In. Sponsored by the AALL Research Instruction and Patron Services SIS, the Teach-In gives law librarians around the country the opportunity to share materials and ideas for legal research instruction. Each year the Teach-In committee creates a set of materials that you can use to design and advertise programs and events for your own institutions. These materials are distributed several weeks prior to National Library Week to anyone interested in legal research instruction. Further details on how to request Teach-In kits will come sometime in February.
Now is the time for you to become involved in the creation of these materials! The topic of this year's Teach-In kit is entirely up to you! We need your ideas, your contribution materials, and your success stories! Please take a few minutes to contact us about any type of research instruction you are doing or any instruction materials that you have created. This could include descriptions of successful teaching techniques, lecture notes, outlines, handouts, exercises, lesson plans, user guides, pathfinders, research guides, or descriptions of past training events. We want to know what you are doing to teach your patrons about legal research.
We are looking for materials on ANY SUBJECT that would be relevant to the legal community. We hope to feature several "hot topics"--ones that are especially timely and of heightened interest. Right now, however, we need your input and donations in order to determine what to include.
Please send your questions, suggestions and materials to either Kristin Gerdy, Howard W. Hunter Law Library, J. Reuben Clark Law School, BYU, 274F JRCB, Provo, UT, 84602, (801) 378-3623, gerdyk@lawgate.byu.edu, or Gail A. Partin, Dickinson School of Law, Pennsylvania State University, 150 South College Street Carlisle, PA 17013, (717) 240-5294, gap6@psu.edu.
Thank your for all of the enthusiasm and support that you have shown for this worthwhile project!
