<DIV><SPAN class=314014000-12022009><FONT face=Arial size=2>My petition to
form an Oregon Library Association (OLA) Legal Reference Round Table (LRRT) was
approved by the OLA Board on January 15, 2009. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=314014000-12022009><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you to the
more than 60 public and academic librarians who signed the petition (and to the
Board for approving it)!<BR> <BR>The full text of the LRRT Bylaws will be
available soon at the OLA website (<A
href="http://www.olaweb.org">www.olaweb.org</A>). Here is a
précis:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=314014000-12022009><FONT face=Arial size=2>“<EM>The objectives
of this organization [LRRT] shall be to provide a practical framework for
information sharing, continuing education opportunities, professional
interactions, and a support system to those library workers engaged in providing
legal reference services in all types of Oregon libraries. This organization
shall aim to share ideas, plan, and improve legal reference services in and
among libraries and foster fellowship, cooperation, and professionalism among
its members</EM>.”</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=314014000-12022009><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any OLA member may
join (<EM>there are no LRRT dues</EM>). The inaugural Business Meeting of
the Round Table will be at the 2009 Oregon Library Association Annual
Meeting, </FONT></SPAN><SPAN class=314014000-12022009><FONT face=Arial

<DIV><SPAN class=314014000-12022009><FONT face=Arial size=2>After Legislative
Day I will focus on preparing for the LRRT Business Meeting. I think one
can join Round Tables out-of-cycle (<EM>not just when you join or renew your OLA
membership</EM>), but will confirm that - and find out how. I have
everything else to learn too about Round Tables so feel free to ask questions
(or answer them :-)</FONT></DIV>
