<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Greetings:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I have a couple of new items <SPAN
class=761324219-23112012>to announce </SPAN>on the Oregon public law library
front:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=761324219-23112012>1</SPAN>) <SPAN
class=761324219-23112012>New OLR website: </SPAN>Our new collaborative
Washington and Clackamas County Law Libraries (and statewide) website went live
last week - yay! It’s been a long and interesting journey, which we’ll write up
one day soon. Here are links:<BR> <BR></FONT><A

(homepage)<BR> <BR></FONT><A

(Note: the new blog won't go "live" until the<SPAN class=761324219-23112012>
current</SPAN> Blogger blog is fully migrated to Wordpress. We still have
lots of librarian work to do on it (taxonomy decisions, etc.)<SPAN
class=761324219-23112012>.)</SPAN><BR> <BR>There is <SPAN
class=761324219-23112012>a</SPAN> lot <SPAN
class=761324219-23112012>of work </SPAN>for me, Holly<SPAN
class=761324219-23112012> (Washington County Assistant Law Librarian)</SPAN>,
and Jenn <SPAN class=761324219-23112012>(Clackamas Co. Law Librarian)
</SPAN>to do on the website before it gets its full bearings and strength.
Feedback is very welcome.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Note: This new website is not a replacement for our
respective, and official, Washington and Clackamas County law library
websites.</FONT></DIV>

Library Reading List: Jenn<SPAN class=761324219-23112012>, Holly, and I</SPAN>,
are on a number of pro bono, self-help, self-representation, access to justice,
etc. local and national <SPAN class=761324219-23112012>professional
association </SPAN>committees, so I created a reading list to<SPAN
class=761324219-23112012> help out the</SPAN> non-law librarian and
non-librarian members of our committees <SPAN class=761324219-23112012>who
</SPAN>want to learn how public law libraries <SPAN
class=761324219-23112012>in Oregon and </SPAN>around the country operate. Maybe
some future law librarians amongst you will be interested in this reading list
as well<SPAN class=761324219-23112012>. We update it periodically as new reports
come out.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
