Since our meeting in Jan. following AALS, the leadership of NELLCO, the Mid-America Law Library Consortium (MALLCO) and the Legal Information Preservation Alliance (LIPA) have been meeting regularly to enhance collaboration between and among the three organizations. We've made great progress in several areas, including shared projects and services, joint advocacy, and membership support.  You'll be hearing more detail throughout the spring, and the group will be meeting again at AALL in July to keep us on track.
Do you have any ideas to share for ways we might cooperate? We'd love to hear from you
