The mission of our special interest section, Legal Information Services to the Public, is to improve access to legal information and to promote legal information services to the public. Two projects that we regularly engage in are the Clearinghouse Bibliography and the reference brochure, "How to Research a Legal Problem: A Guide for Non-Lawyers." The SIS also publishes the Public Library Toolkit.

In addition to these projects, LISP promotes and encourages its members to provide research assistance to pro bono groups, either through local AALL chapters or individually by its members. LISP also is charged with representing its members' interests and concerns within AALL.
