If you come to the ALL-SIS web site only to read the newsletter, you’re missing many useful resources. For example, if you’d like to get involved in ALL-SIS by volunteering for a committee, you can read about what each committee does on the Committee and Task Force Charges page (www.aallnet.org/sis/allsis/committees/charges/). If you’d like to find out what the ALL-SIS Executive Board has been up to, you can find their minutes on the Meetings page (www.aallnet.org/sis/allsis/meetings/). You can also find a schedule of ALL-SIS programs and events to be held at the 2010 Annual Meeting in Denver (www.aallnet.org/sis/allsis/annualmeeting/2010/).
The ALL-SIS web site is also home to content produced by ALL-SIS committees, including the Awards Committee, the Collection Development Committee, the Continuing Status and Tenure Committee, and the Legal Research and Sourcebook Committee. The Awards Committee page (www.aallnet.org/sis/allsis/committees/awards/) provides lists of available awards and recent award winners, as well as criteria, nomination procedures and forms. The Collection Development Committee page (www.aallnet.org/sis/allsis/committees/colldev/) includes a listing of academic law libraries’ new acquisitions RSS feeds, a directory of collection development contacts in academic law libraries (AALLnet login required), and a compilation of academic law libraries’ collection development policies (AALLnet login required). The Continuing Status and Tenure Committee maintains an up-to-date survey of librarian tenure or continuing appointment policies at www.aallnet.org/sis/allsis/cst/. Finally, the Legal Research and Sourcebook Committee’s page (www.aallnet.org/sis/allsis/legalresearchcommittee/) is home to notes from the annual Legal Research Roundtables and to the Sourcebook for Teaching Legal Research (www.aallnet.org/sis/allsis/secure/research/, AALLnet login required). The Sourcebook is a searchable and browsable collection of legal research teaching materials submitted by AALL members.
