Virginia and Texas Kudos
Dear Colleagues,
First, I wish everyone a Bonne Année 2006! Happy New Year! It has been a terrific experience to get to know so many of you, and I am looking forward to a great and productive year with all of you, culminating in a BIG birthday bash--our 100th anniversary--in St. Louis in July!
Kudos to all the law librarians who wrote most of the December 2005 Virginia Lawyer issue, the official publication of the Virginia State Bar. This great accomplishment features a photo of Gail Warren, state law librarian, on the cover of the issue with the Honorable Leroy R. Hassell, Sr., chief justice of the Virginia Supreme Court. Congratulations to Paul Barron, Hazel Johnson, Kent Olson, Jennifer Sekula, Lyn Warmath, Gail Warren, and Gail Zwirner for a wonderful job that reflects so well on our profession and that can be emulated in the other 49 states! The issue is available online at www.vsb.org.
Professor Roy Mersky is featured on the cover and inside the December 2005 UT Law, the magazine of the University of Texas School of Law, and interviewed on the future of libraries. Great pictures, and great article. For 40 years, Roy has led the Jamail Center for Legal Research. Now, he is looking forward to the next 20! Way to go, Roy, we are so proud of your accomplishments that make our profession a stimulating one!
Best regards,
