Comment on The Wonderful World of Online Encyclopedias by Brenna Louzin

Thanks for writing about encyclopedias. It reminded me of my childhood reading the very cheap encyclopedia my folks could afford, Funk & Wagnalls. It was green with gold lettering but I still enjoyed reading various volumes at bedtime. Supermarket encyclopedias…a thing of the past.

Comment on Bedbugs in your books by Mary Whisner

I’ll add the total number of bedbugs discovered at the UW: 2.

The books were sent to the Burke Museum where they were frozen for weeks to kill off the bugs.

Things are OK out here.

Wow, first I’ve heard of this in WA. SPL’s spokesperson may have done well to refer to this NYT counterpoint: http://www.edrants.com/the-bedbug-bunk-how-the-new-york-times-used-fear-and-misinformation-to-spread-public-library-hysteria/

As someone who spends a part of each day searching Pacer, and other docket dimensions, I appreciate your posting. Sounds like an interesting read. Thank you.

Comment on How to Benefit from Attending Practice Group Meetings by admin

From Sue Mecklem:

Our office has about 90 attorneys, and about 500 firm wide. There are numerous groups – practice groups, sub-groups of the PGs, client groups, and various other groups. I try to attend at least one meeting a week – it’s not realistic to do much more than that. I’ve never had anyone resist my attending – I can’t imagine why they would. When I ask to attend, I explain that I’d like to observe the PG meeting so I can learn more about their practice and thus be more helpful in knowing what resources they might use. The next time I attend, I might give a very short presentation about a new database, or hand out a list of relevant books.

This is a great post. I’ve been looking to attend practice group meetings at my firm (75 lawyers).
Would you mind telling me more about your firm? Size? # of practice groups? Do you attend all the practice group meetings and how often are they? Was there initial resistance to your presence at first and how did you overcome that?

Thanks!

Michael
