Hello all :-);
For three-plus years I've been here as research librarian for the Dade
County Public Defender's Office &
by now I feel *very "lost". No - it's not from hurricane Georges which
pretty much passed us by, but
You see, I have been a member of AALL for over 15 yrs but *disappeared from
the AALL directory when I took this *very busy position.
First, it was the delay in membership renewal - I missed the deadline. Then
somehow, someone else's named was switched w/ mine & again for 1998, I am
nowhere to be found in the AALL directory: While Mr. Gilberto Fort *is the
Librarian @ the Dade County Justice Bldg., just next store - he is *not
affiliated w/ our office.
I suppose after being a AALL member for so long, I'm a little insecure about
being "lost in cybrarian space" . I've contacted AALL each time I noticed
the omission, however I must include that I do not know what/who made the
error - AALL or the sunny State of Florida(who actually disburses our
office's payments)
Nevertheless,
after rec. yet *another piece of correspondence addressed to Mr. Fort, I
thought it worth entering my own correction by way of the lawlib list while
also asking AALL to confirm.
I would also be interested in hearing from anyone else that has also had
similar experiences.
Now, back to our "regularly scheduled program" !
Karen
