<p class=MsoPlainText>Pro-Se and Librarians: Legal Self Help Options (Nebraska
Library Commission)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Economic pressures and increasing availability of
e-government services have increased citizen’s need for help in accessing and
using these services. Despite funding cuts, public libraries are increasingly
where people turn for help. Much of the need for e-government services relates
to legal matters, especially pro-se (meaning representing oneself in court).
Beth Goble and Laura Johnson, Nebraska Library Commission and Julie Beno,
Lincoln City Libraries will discuss the types of questions librarians may
encounter, what librarians can and cannot provide without "giving legal
advice", and how the Nebraska Court system works. They will highlight some
resources available for helping patrons do their own "legal stuff" or
find legal aid services in their area.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>As part of the ongoing <a

IMLS and the Employment & Training Administration of the U.S. Department of
Labor (DOL/ETA), WebJunction is hosting this ETA presentation on the new
job-seeking tool, mySkills, myFuture. Coming in September, this free online
tool will enable job seekers to increase their career mobility and economic
prospects. Specifically, the self-paced tool will help previously employed to
(1) use their previous experience to identify occupations that they might be
qualified for; (2) identify the skills s/he needs to acquire to qualify for a
specific job; (3) identify education or training institutions where these
skills can be obtained; and (4) provide links to relevant job opportunities in national
and state job banks. Libraries will want to add mySkills, myFuture to their
resources to help job-seeking patrons in their community.<o:p></o:p></p>
