ABOUT THE PROGRAMS 

 

 

Forensic Bibliography: Reconstructing the Library of George Wythe

 

Linda Tesar, Head of Technical Services at William & Mary’s Wolf Law Library, authored the winning entry in the open division of the 2012 AALL/LexisNexis Call for Papers Competition for Forensic Bibliography: Reconstructing the Library of George Wythe. Wythe practiced law in Williamsburg and served on the High Court of Chancery for Virginia beginning in 1778. When William & Mary appointed him Professor of Law and Police in 1779, Wythe became the first law professor in America. During his career, Wythe created a notable personal library which the Wolf Law Library chose to recreate. Because no inventory of Wythe’s collection of books survived, and because he bequeathed his collection to Thomas Jefferson, recreating the library posed many challenges. Linda will discuss overcoming these challenges, and will also compare Wythe’s library to those of his contemporaries.

 

Is your Law Library e-Savvy?  Integrating e-Books into Your Collection

 

Join us for an informational session on the evolving world of e-Books in law libraries.  Topics will include technical concerns, such as software requirements, browser and device compatibility, and data metrics; content and functionality, including features and enhancements; and purchasing issues, including accessibility, licensing, and lending options. Speakers will be Dave Pepin, a Digital Library Specialist from LexisNexis, and Amy O'Connor, the Digital Resources Librarian at the University of Richmond School of Law Library, who will share her experiences with integrating e-Books into a law library collection development plan. Attendees will be invited to share about their own e-Book experiences as well.

 

“Remote Tour” of the National Center for State Courts

 

Joan Cochet is the Library Resource Manager for Knowledge and Information Services at the National Center for State Courts. She has been at NCSC since 2004 and frequently gives tours of the NCSC. The facility is closed for tours on April 12, but Ms. Cochet will provide us with a “remote tour” in lieu, where she will discuss the history, mission and work of the NCSC.
