Latest Issue of Law Librarians News Published – Issue 199 25 June 2010

As usual here's the editorial and the TOC



EDITORIAL
LLN is on early summer vacation this year so we hope that skipping some opinion this issue won?t unduly upset anybody.

If you are short of opinion we do suggest the best place to check in is the US Law Librarians Blog. Joe Hodnicki has been writing some very insightful posts over the past couple of weeks and all are worth a read

Here are a few..

? ?????A Corrective to Legal Research Performed Through Traditional Means
? ?????More Thoughts On LAW.GOV
? ?????Staying the Course with LAW.GOV: Let's Not Entertain Scaled-Back Objectives that Leaves the Rest to the Private Sector
? ??????Following Labor-Management Relations at Thomson Reuters

All can be found at http://lawprofessors.typepad.com/law_librarian_blog/ <http://lawprofessors.typepad.com/law_librarian_blog/>

All we?d like to say again is congratulations to Graham Greenleaf of Austlii (Australia) for his mention in the queens birthday honours and the rest of the team at austlii and all the other li?s worldwide for their perseverance in creating the network that allows for at least some free choice in the world of legal research.

Long may the network build and prosper

?Best wishes Sean Hocking ??LLN
