LHRB-SIS Program: "Digging" Colorado Legal History: Alfred Packer - The Man, The Myths, The Cannibal
38 Attendees
Location
CCC-Room 107
Type Programs, SIS Programs
International exhumation expert Professor James E. Starrs of The George Washington University Law School will discuss the case of Colorado cannibal Alfred (Alferd) Packer, a member of a February, 1874, gold prospecting party who returned in the spring, well-fed and without his five companions. After denying wrongdoing, Packer admitted to cannibalizing two members of the party. Professor Starrs led a team of experts in the exhumation of the Packer party members, and will discuss his analysis of the scientific data gleaned from the victims' bones. This data undermined Packer's trial testimony, confirming that Packer cannibalized all five of his companions.

LISP-SIS Program: A Web 2.0 Collaboration: Mapping a Path for Pro Bono Partnerships
59 Attendees
Location
CCC-Room 107

This program will show how new technologies can strengthen pro bono partnerships and will feature wikis that law librarians created for pro bono attorneys. In Hennepin County (MN), private firm librarians used Wikispaces to create a resource that provides legal information as well as access to Westlaw. A similar initiative by the Anne Arundel (MD) County Law Librarian will also be discussed. The program will offer useful tips on Wikis as well as recommendations about content.

CS-SIS Program: Database Ownership: Myth or Reality?
76 Attendees
Location
CCC-Room 107
Type Programs, SIS Programs
For some databases, vendors advertise the option to purchase data outright so libraries "own" the content if the vendor goes out of business or the library cancels its subscription; this option is expensive but promises perpetual access to the data. Join the Barco Law Library staff as they explain the hidden costs of "owning" a database and the difficulties of storage and access when a subscription was cancelled and the vendor provided content as promised.

TS-SIS Program: How Are We To Accomplish That Much More with That Much Less?

CCC-Room 107
Type Programs, SIS Programs
Speakers: Ajaye Bloomstone, Nancy Charles, Miriam Childs, Leslie K. Wakeford
Pursuant to the cuts that libraries have been asked to sustain while striving to maintain optimum service, we have reorganized, revamped, and realigned processes, tasks, procedures, and, just as importantly, our daily outlook. The draconian moves employed to deal with economic uncertainties take a toll on our collections and the psychological well-being of library staff in professional and support positions. This program, through active discussion by librarians and a mental health professional, seeks to give guidance in dealing with these issues. Part 1 will deal with change management - how libraries have managed their changing environments due to shrinking budgets and the march from print to electronic. Part 2 will address the human responses to these changes with a presentation by a mental health professional.
