BI-ALLSIG

Earlier this month BIALL announced the launch of a new mailing list specifically for Academic Law Librarians. From the email sent to the BIALL Mailing List:

"At the BIALL Conference in June 2008 there was a particularly successful
session conducted by Peter Clinch involving issues relating to standards
for academic law libraries.
In order to carry on the discussions about this, and other issues which
are specific to those of us in the academic arena, we put forward a
suggestion at BIALL Council that we set up a mailing list for the
academic group. This suggestion was accepted and the list has now been
created.

In part this list is to provide a sounding board for those colleagues
who are sometimes the only law librarian in their institution, to allow
them to ask questions and raise issues which are not of much interest to
other sectors. It is not our aim for this to be an exclusive group which
does not relate to the BIALL list. Whenever we have any issues of wider
interest we will still turn to the BIALL list as our starting point.
The name of this new list is BI-ALLSIG (British and Irish Academic Law
Librarian Special Interest Group) and if you are a librarian who is
involved in the academic sector, you are invited to join."

This is a jiscmail list so the conventions for joining or leaving the lists as the same as LIS-LAW. If you do have any issues or problems then please contact Ruth Bird or Angela Donaldson for more information.
