Report
Lee Peoples
Chair, Program Planning Committee
Program Planning Committee members Lee Peoples (Chair), April Schwartz (Vice-Chair),
Paddy Satzer, Eric Young, Kira Zaporski, Ajaye Bloomstone (Sub-Committee Chair),
and Ruth Levor worked diligently under tight deadlines to compile and rank
programs for the 2006 AALL Annual Meeting. In October we received excellent
news from the Annual Meeting Program Planning Committee (AMPC). They accepted
10 out of the 25 programs sponsored or co-sponsored by ALL-SIS for the 2006
meeting. Those programs are:
- A-1 Exploring Uncharted Territory: The Culture and Context
of the University
- D-5 Up and Down the Career Ladder: Finding the Right Rung
for You
- E-2 Teaching Online Legal Research to Law Students: What
Do Students Really Need to Know When They Arrive at a Law Firm? (co-sponsored
by RIPS)
- E-3 Invasion of the Podcast People - Podcasting for the
Law Library (sponsored by CS-SIS and co-sponsored by ALL-SIS)
- F-6 Pioneering Global Health Law: Pandemics, Trends, and Research Strategies
(sponsored by FCIL-SIS and co-sponsored by ALL-SIS)
- G-6 Forging Connections with Library Friends Groups (sponsored

- H-5 Managing Beyond the Library: Successful Management of IT Departments
for Law Librarians (co-sponsored by CS-SIS)

- J-6 And You Thought Gadgets Were Only For the Kitchen: Part III: The Return!
- W-1 Oh What a Tangled Web: Advanced Web Searching and Teaching (off site
workshop)
The Committee, working with the ALL-SIS Board, will be offering the following
two programs along side regularly scheduled AMPC programs:
- What Public Services Should Know About Tech Services and Vice Versa
- Harnessing Digital Video Technology
The high quality and high number of programs submitted for ALL-SIS sponsorship
and the hard work of Committee members contributed to the acceptance of so
many programs. Watch the next newsletter for more information about these programs
and the 2006-2007 program selection process.
