Coverage of these databases goes back as far as the 19th century and includes a wealth of easily accessible and valuable information. Lexis consultant Andrea Sevetson, former government documents librarian at UC Berkeley, will offer two training sessions in the use of these databases at 10:00 A.M. on Friday, October 10, and Friday, November 14, in the LRC computer lab.

The library was in a sad state of disuse, a dark and dirty space with barely usable computers, battered furniture, and shelves filled with donated educational materials that were mostly outdated, in English, and/or unsuitable for young children learning to read.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style='line-height:150%'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;line-height:150%; font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";color:black'>The volunteers built new study carrels, desks, and shelving; cleared out the bulky furniture and equipment from the library; worked in the kitchen to make lunch for the crew; and went through the hundreds of library materials to decide what should stay or go. There were perhaps 30 people and the work was fast, organized, cooperative, and efficient. In a few hours the neglected space was cleared, cleaned, and mopped; new modern wooden furniture was built; and new computers were unpackaged and installed. The library materials were weeded and organized by subject area, and newly donated print publications were incorporated into the collection. While it was very hot, water and smiles and encouraging thanks kept everyone working at a fast pace. The library became a space worthy of its name. The volunteers could see that children would find the room conducive to study, learning, and thriving. It was a good start, although a lot remains to be done. As the president of the San Diego Association of Law Libraries (SANDALL), John plans to establish a standing committee dedicated to finding and supporting similar projects in the future. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style='line-height:150%'><a name=four></a><b><span style='font-size:15.0pt; line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#01206D'>Reinventing Librarianship</span></b><span style='font-size:9.0pt;line-height:150%; font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";color:black'><br> </span><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shape id="_x0000_s1029" type="#_x0000_t75" alt="Reinventing Librarianship" style='position:absolute;margin-left:102.5pt; margin-top:0;width:142.5pt;height:92.25pt;z-index:251661312; mso-wrap-distance-left:0;mso-wrap-distance-top:0;mso-wrap-distance-right:0; mso-wrap-distance-bottom:0;mso-position-horizontal:right; mso-position-horizontal-relative:text;mso-position-vertical-relative:line' o:allowoverlap="f"> <v:imagedata src="http://www.sandiego.edu/usdlaw/images/od/sandall.gif"/> <w:wrap type="square"/> </v:shape><![endif]--><![if !vml]><img width=190 height=123 src="http://www.sandiego.edu/usdlaw/images/od/sandall.gif" align=right alt="Reinventing Librarianship" v:shapes="_x0000_s1029"><![endif]><span style='font-size:9.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; color:black'>SANDALL, the local chapter of the American Association of Law Libraries, celebrated its 10th year with a fall workshop at the Marina Village Conference Center in Mission Bay.
