100th Anniversary of Law Library Journal

Law Library Journal, a publication of the American Association of Law Libraries, has made it to volume 100!

Throughout 2008, it will mark its centennial year with special features about its history.

The centennial feature in vol. 1 number 1 is entitled The Essential Law Library Journal by Frank Houdek, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Professor of Law, Southern Illinois University School of Law, Carbondale, Illinois. Houdek was the editor of Law Library Journal, 1995–2007:

"As a kickoff to the celebration of the centennial volume of Law Library Journal, Professor Houdek presents a selective, annotated list of 'essential' readings culled from the preceding ninety-nine volumes of the Journal. The list represents pieces that anyone involved in law librarianship, whether a novice or someone experienced in the field, should read and absorb."
