New Law Librarians’ Institute 2020 Cancelled

In an e-mail this afternoon to members of the Canadian Association of Law LIbraries (CALL), CALL president Shaunna Mireau announced the decision to cancel the New Law Librarians’ Institute (NLLI) 2020 event that was set to take place place at the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton from June 16–19, 2020.

This is:

"to ensure we do our part to limit the spread of COVID-19, and to accommodate those who are facing current and anticipated travel restrictions prohibiting their attendance. We want to ensure we are able to continue our tradition of connecting, sharing and learning together, but at a time that is safe to do so. We have made this decision factoring in the on-going uncertainty around COVID-19 and its potential impacts on the health and safety of the participants, speakers, and the local host community."

NLLI is an intensive four-day program aimed at developing librarians’ skills in the key competencies of law librarianship.
