Article Highlighting PLL Constituent Groups
I want to share with you the wonderful article highlighting PLLs constituent groups and their role in supporting the work we do as law firm, corporate and independent law librarians. As the blurb says "The Private Law Libraries SIS provides a good example of how smaller groups of like-minded people can add value to membership."
If you have not read "Law Librarians Band Together" by our fellow PLLer, Donna Fisher, published in the March 2008 issue of AALL Spectrum, I recommend that you take a look at the article and plan on becoming a part of one or more of these groups and attending the programs and functions they will be hosting at the annual AALL meeting this July in Portland.
