The Chinese and American Forum on Legal Information and Law Libraries (CAFLL) will be held from Friday, July 22, 2011 to Saturday, July 23, 2011 in Pennsylvania Convention Center, Philadelphia. This conference is sponsored by the Chinese and American Forum on Legal Information and Law Libraries (CAFLL), a non-profit organization, with logistical support by the AALL. It will be held in conjunction with the AALL convention. The Conference promotes the accessibility of legal information and fosters the education of legal information professionals in the United States and China. The 2011 Conference will feature three themes: American law libraries; the evolving trends in law librarianship (e.g., impact of technology); and future collaboration between AALL members and Chinese colleagues. The Friday (July 22) portion of the conference will feature a workshop on American law libraries, with the Chinese librarians as the target audience. And the Saturday (July 23) portion will feature substantive sessions, panel discussions, and keynote speakers by both American and Chinese participants. The program will be finalized around February 2011 and formally announced shortly after.
It is expected that over fifty Chinese law school administrators, library directors, librarians, and professors will attend this Conference. All American law librarians are invited to attend. For more information, contact Bob Hu at Email: rhu@stmarytx.edu, or by phone at 210-431-2056.
