Proceedings of the Members' Open Forum Conducted at the 111th Annual Meeting of the American Association of Law Libraries Held in Baltimore, Maryland Monday Afternoon, July 16, 2018

摘要

1 Ms. Saskia Mehlhorn (Norton Rose Fulbright, Houston, Texas): Hello, everyone. We received two questions in advance. It is going to be a good start. The first one comes from Malinda Muller (LA Law Library, Studio City, California): "With more SISs crossing over, what is AALL's leadership's opinion on restructuring the costs of participation in multiple SISs and encouraging information sharing, insight, and experience?"2 President Greg Lambert (Jackson Walker LLP, Houston, Texas): I will take that one. One of the things with the SISs is that we want to make sure that ideas like this bubble up from the SISs. The SISs should be asking the Board for changes that they want. I suggest on an issue like this, that the SIS, the SIS chairs, and the SIS counsel chairs talk with the liaison, and with Heather [Haemker], and once you have decided what it is you would like to do within the SISs, please bring that to the Board. We do not want the Board trying to define what it is that the SISs want. (Applause.)3 Ms. Mehlhorn: The next question comes from Deborah Rusin (Freeborn & Peters LLP, Chicago, Illinois): With more members coming in for the PLL Summit on Saturday and not being able to stay for the entire conference, will the exhibit hall be opening early on Saturday since it is no longer open on Tuesday?
