New Issue of Law Library Journal
It is the quarterly publication of the American Association of Law Libraries.
3 articles in particular caught my attention:
- The Law Librarian of the Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries: A Figuration in Flux:"Through inspection of scholarly writings of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, Ms. [Theodora] Belniak articulates the skill sets, knowledge areas, and personality characteristics of the archetypal law librarian over the last one hundred years."
- Define Leader: The Definition and Development of Law Librarians as Leaders: "Dr. [Barbara] Mackoff reports the results of a survey conducted with forty longtime and forty emergent law librarians about the behaviors and strengths that define leadership and how leadership can be developed."
- Practicing Reference... The United States Code, Prima Facie Evidence and Positive Law: "Ms. [Mary] Whisner examines the history of the U.S. Code, explaining why it is only 'prima facie evidence of the law,' and discusses the efforts of the Office of the Law Revision Counsel to enact Code titles into positive law."
