The Electronic Research Interest Group (ERIG) provides information and support to librarians on electronic resources of foreign, comparative and international law research. Although most of our work benefits FCIL librarians, others are welcome to use it.
In particular, we maintain and update the FCIL-SIS Jumpstart page with a list of FCIL experts organized by subject specialties. We also review new, popular or useful electronic resources in an effort to increase and better our understanding of various FCIL related electronic resources. These reviews are published in the FCIL Newsletter starting with the October 2017 issue.
As an Interest Group, of course, everyone, whether member or not, is encouraged to come to our meetings at AALL and get involved in helping to make our responsibilities a reality. The work of our group depends on volunteers entirely and we’d like to thank all those who are currently working or have worked on our efforts.
If you are unable to attend the annual meeting or if you have any questions about this group, its mission, or how to join, you may also reach out to the interest group chair for additional information.
