Competencies for Leadership in Law Libraries
An emphasis on clearly articulated competencies is essential to maintaining the viability and advancement of the professions of law and librarianship. This program will address the competencies law librarians must have in order to lead their institutions in successful information dissemination. The first speaker, Michael Saint-Onge, will discuss the 31 Core Competencies issued by AALL in 1998. As the current chair of the AALL Professional Development Committee, Saint-Onge will explain how these competencies are designed to aid law librarians in maintaining their positions as leaders in the law and the legal information professions. Valerie Railey, the second speaker, will review the MacCrate Report and specific competencies identified in library organization-issued competency documents.
