If you need to justify your attendance at the annual meeting each year, the following is an exciting opportunity.

I have enjoyed my seven years as the Private Law Libraries Technical Services Chair.  I will be the President of the Chicago Association of Law Libraries beginning in May.  Because of this I have decided that I need to step down as the PLL TS Chair.  It was not an easy decision, but one that had to be made.

The responsibilities include:

1. Working with the editor of TSLL to find a Private Law Libraries columnist who will write quarterly columns and recruit guest columnists. It is quite likely that the PLL TS Chair will be the columnist, so the ability to meet deadlines is a desirable trait.
2. Schedule our Business Meeting during AALL.  This is done in the Fall.
3. Determining what will be the program at AALL.  Some years we have had an organized session, such as the Vendor Changes at Baltimore.  Some years it has been informal sessions.   A list of what I have organized is below:
   • 1996: Job Descriptions and Job Responsibilities (Informal)
   • 1997: Coping with Vendor Change-Representatives from Matthew Bender, CCH and West Group (Formal)
   • 1998: Handling of disks and CDs that come with material - Jayne McQuoid was our guest and discussed her project at Loyola University in Chicago (Informal)
   • 1999: Representatives from LEXIS Publishing discussing branding and accounting issues (Formal)
   • 2000: What we would find useful in a Technical Services Workshop (Informal)
   • 2001: Listserv issues (Informal)
   • 2002: BookWhere (Informal)
4. Liaison with TS-SIS about possible programs and any other issues.

Please contact me if you are interested. Please note except for scheduling the time during the convention, the rest of the time frame can be adapted to fit your schedule.
