|
We hope you had an eventful and informative time in Washington, DC this year for AALL.
 We wish to thank all of you who stopped by and said "hello" (it was great to meet some of you for the first time, and is always a pleasure to see a familiar face!) and also to those of you who attended our Provider-Neutral Records presentation at the William S. Hein booth. The Provider-Neutral presentation will be available on our website, on HeinOnline's website, or you can view it here. |

Law School Applications Jump by 3.8%*
|
|
With law school applications up by 3.8% this year, it is sure to be a year packed with students eager to learn. Be sure that the users at your library understand right away just how valuable your library's OPAC really is!
According to LSAC president Daniel Bernstine, the jump may be due to the economic downturn. "In recessionary periods, people tend to go back to school if they are out of work," he tells the ABA Journal. This means, of course, that many students will be doing research around jobs and family obligations. This fact alone makes your library's OPAC that much more valuable.
Whether they are researching from home, their office, the dorm... or right within your bricks-and-mortar library, be sure they have complete accessibility to all resources.

A Return to Teaching
|
|
In other News, Joni Cassidy will be returning for her fifth year of teaching at Queens College Graduate School of Library and Information Science in Flushing, NY. She will be teaching Introduction to Technical Services for the Fall 2009 semester (where she has wooed many a student to the "dark side" of librarianship -- cataloging!).
Donna Rosinski-Kauz will be returning to Kean University in Union, NJ where she teaches Audio-Visual Cataloging to aspiring school media specialists.
