Save the date for the LLOPS Professional Development Conference: Innovate, Inform, Ideas. This year’s conference will be held on Tuesday, April 17 at the University of Washington. A brief description of the agenda is below with more details including registration information to come out soon.
Innovate: From Gwyn McAlpine, Director of Knowledge Management Services at Perkins Coie LLP, who will address Unconventional R&D. “Law firms want to innovate but it requires creative thinking and a tolerance of failure that their organizations may not have the stomach or bandwidth for. As a way to test out ideas and solutions with low investment, some firms are experimenting with alternate forums, such as student projects and hackathons. Hear about one firm’s partnership with a law school that is resulting in prototype automation projects for the firm and a unique educational opportunity for students.”
Inform: Lisa Marshall Manheim is an Associate Professor at the University of Washington School of Law and co-author of The Limits of Presidential Power: A Citizen’s Guide to the Law. She will be speaking to us about this book.
Ideas: Discussion group breakout session.
The program will be followed by an offsite happy hour, planned by the Social Committee.
We hope to see you there!
Amy Eaton & Jessica King, your 2018 Professional Development Committee

| Please save the date for this month’s LLOPS meeting, which will be held on October 25th at noon. We will have a roundtable discussion focusing on the following question: “What does patron outreach look like at your library?”
Additional sub-topics for thought include: What has your library tried that has worked? What wasn’t as successful? Do you have any success stories of relationships forged with faculty or attorneys through outreach? Do you keep usage stats? What type, if any? How does this impact outreach? What is your library doing to improve customer satisfaction or gain feedback?
Please bring your government ID for Lane Powell security. |
