Recording Available of US Webinar on Law Library Services to Self-Represented Litigants

A recording of the March 24, 2015 webinar A2J: Best Practices for Court, County, and Government Law Libraries is now available on the website of the Self-Represented Litigation Network (SRLN):

"As we claim our role in alleviating the justice gap, law librarians provide unique services for self-represented litigants and are critical advocates for essential library services. This webinar is specifically for court, county, and government law librarians who want to learn basic service benchmarks as well as touchstones for evolving services. Whether a practical lesson or best practice for library self help programs, these guiding principles will energize attendees. The program will  serve as a catalyst for enhancing services in all public law libraries, no matter  how small or large. It will also convince law librarians that they can and must promote law library services among other collaborators in the legal community."

The event was jointly organized by SRLN and the State, Court, County Law Libraries Special Interest Group of the American Association of Law Libraries.

Speakers were:

• James G. Durham, Deputy Director of the Maryland State Law Library
• Janine Liebert, Senior Public Interest Librarian within the Programs & Partnerships team at LA Law Library
• Joan Bellistri, Director of the Anne Arundel County Public Law Library (Annapolis, Maryland)
• Sara Galligan, Director of the Ramsey County Law Library (St.Paul, Minnesota)

Slides for the presentation are also available on the webpage.
