"Why can't I find my case on the web?"
"Isn't everything online now?"
"I've tried a lot of different searches and I keep getting too many hits"
"Nothing seems on point"
"I'm overwhelmed by the choices..."
Are you concerned about how competent and confident your patrons are with
electronic research? Four of our colleagues have drafted a discussion
document that addresses "End-User Electronic Information Competencies."
Bobbie Studwell, Jill Porter, Leigh Semples, and Faye Jones believe that
it's time for law librarians to step forward and define basic legal research
competencies. The draft document, published in the October 1998 AALL
Spectrum, outlines the skill sets that students and attorneys should master
to be considered competent in obtaining electronic information.
Please join in on a two-week list-serv discussion. The AALL Professional
Development Listserv is designed to promote information exchange on current
issues in law librarianship. Each discussion will be limited to a set period
and the listserv will be purged at the end of this period. Bobbie Studwell
has graciously agreed to moderate a discussion of these proposed end-user
electronic information competencies from November 9-20, 1998.
To subscribe, go to http://www.aallnet.org/prodev/listserv.asp
Take a critical look at the list of skills (page 5, AALL Spectrum - Oct
1998.) Do you have suggestions for additions, corrections or modifications?
What should our role be in setting these competencies? Voice your opinion!
Thank you,
AALL Professional Development
