Welcome to the VALL Wiki!
The wiki is intended to help VALL members share and disseminate organizational information, participate in online conversations about our profession, and post links, articles or presentations for feedback and comments. It's also a tool for VALL members to learn about wikis and how to use them in their organizations (see A Wiki Welcome, Wiki Resources and the Sandbox). All members are invited and encouraged to participate!

2011 Annual Meeting Program Proposals - Due May 1
VALL will combine with VLA for a joint annual conference this year. The Conference will be held Thursday and Friday, Oct. 27-28, 2011 at the Portsmouth Renaissance Hotel in Portsmouth, VA.
This conference provides an excellent opportunity for VALL members to present programs. VLA members are interested in learning about all aspects of law librarianship and legal issues affecting librarians. Present a program on legal reference, copyright law, basic legal research, courthouse documents, using the Virginia Code, other online resources, a "day in the life" program or paths to a career in law librarianship. The possibilities are nearly endless. Programs geared toward a law librarian audience are also encouraged, as VALL will have its own track at the conference.
Presenters will be granted a 50% reduction in the conference registration fee. Any number of people may present a session, but only two presenters will be provided reduced registration. All program proposals should be submitted through VLA's Concurrent Session Proposal Form.You can now complete the fillable .pdf and e-mail it to VLA! Help us promote sustainability by saving paper! Deadline: May 1, 2011.
Here is a direct link to the form: Concurrent Session Proposal Form 2011

Congratulations to Gregory Stoner of Williams Mullen, VALL's winner of the 2010 AALL Annual Meeting and Conference Chapter Registration Award. This award is underwritten by AALL and given annually to one member of a rotation of AALL chapters who has recently joined the profession, and covers the registration fee for the Annual Meeting. The newer member gets the chance to network with colleagues from across the country, and AALL and VALL get a member who'll strongly support the organization. Congratulations again, Greg, and welcome to VALL and AALL!
