September 30, 2015, Robin Speer retired from the Oregon State Library. She has been with the State Library for 14 years, and in state service for a total of 29 years. Before joining the State Library staff, Robin worked at the Capitol in Visitor Services,
in addition to supporting members of the Oregon Legislature. Robin continued her service to the State of Oregon at the State Library working in administration before becoming the volunteer coordinator for the agency and fund development coordinator for the
Talking Book and Braille Library. She has made meaningful connections with many of our most dedicated volunteers. Robin has also supported the State Library Board and two different State Librarians throughout her time with the State Library. As one of her
last projects, Robin made her idea of a Talking Books donor board a reality. We thank her sincerely for her years of service, sharing her creativity, upbeat attitude, innovation, and loyalty with the agency. We wish her the best in her retirement!</span></span><span style="font-size:16.0pt">

a free library card and take full advantage of both the reference support and physical materials. SOLL also provides a wide range of support for patrons who are unable to come to the library, including an

<p><span class="style101"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Recently, the State of Oregon Law Library also invested in two online legal resources that are available to all Oregonians:

EBSCO’s Legal Information Reference Service</a> and <a href="https://stateoforegonlawlibrary.blogspot.com/2015/10/free-fastcase-access-for-all-oregonians.html">
Fastcase</a>. If you need assistance with any of these resources you can contact the State of Oregon Law Library’s reference librarian Lewis Zimmerman by phone (503-986-5640) or by

is known for its ability to parse search results in a way that is similar to popular search engines, making it more intuitive than many other legal databases. It also features the Bad Law Bot, an automated service that attempts to identify when other courts
have cited a case negatively. SOLL has put together a <a href="https://stateoforegonlawlibrary.blogspot.com/2015/10/free-fastcase-access-for-all-oregonians.html">
