Federal SIS and Legislative SIS program on "Lost Laws"

Jennifer McMahan — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 17:00:00 GMT

The LLSDC Legislative SIS and Federal SIS co-hosted a very successful program on February 23rd called: "Lost Laws: What We Can't Find in the United States Code." The brown bag lunch program conducted by Will Tress, Law Library Director and Assistant Professor at the University of Baltimore and held at Troutman Sanders, was attended by 33 people. Professor Tress gave an excellent discussion on conducting official and essential research on the U.S. Code for federal statutory law research. He focused on finding laws hidden in notes and appendices that the average researcher may not look at. It was a very informative and well-received program.

Federal Librarians SIS Co-Sponsors Talk with Roberta Shaffer

Jennifer McMahan — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 15:00:00 GMT

The LLSDC Federal SIS and the Federal Library and Information Center Committee’s (FLICC) Human Resources Working co-sponsored a Learning @ Lunch talk on November 5, 2009. The guest speaker was Roberta Shaffer, Law Librarian of Congress. The topic of the session was competencies needed by Federal Law Librarians in today's workplace.

Ms. Shaffer started the discussion on competencies by tracing the development of the GS pay system from its inception in the early 1950s to its present and future evolution into a new system based on performance. The original GS system, static and based on the premise of vertical mobility within the work environment, does not adequately encompass the skills of today's librarians. We’re now working in a dynamic environment and need to utilize an ever-increasing number of skills. These skill sets or competencies cannot be adequately measured by the old GS grading scales. The term "complexitivity" would be appropriate to define these competencies. Complexitivity, defined as a dynamic system, influenced and impacted by constantly changing forces, describes the role of today's librarian.

In looking at the future of the profession, FLICC developed the Federal Librarian Competencies to define the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) needed to perform successfully as a federal librarian. The Federal Librarian Competencies, which can be found on the FLICC Web page (http://www.loc.gov/flicc/publications/Lib_Compt/Lib_Compt_Oct2008.pdf), although not yet officially recognized by OPM, have been successfully used by a number of Federal librarians in classifying positions, writing position descriptions, and negotiating for classification changes.

The discussion of both the history of the federal pay system and the FLICC competencies was thought-provoking, as Ms. Shaffer challenged the group to think about how our roles have changed and how they will continue to change in the future.

The Business Side of Law Firms - What Librarians Need to Understand to Succeed in the New Law Firm Reality

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 20:00:00 GMT

The Business Side of Law Firms - What Librarians Need to Understand to Succeed in the New Law Firm Reality

AALL PLL Webinar held Dec 9

Speaker: Barry Strauss, Executive Director, Wiley, Rein LLP

Coordinators: Cathryn Ahearn, Kate Martin, Scott Bailey

Barry Strauss, Executive Director of Wiley, Rein challenged librarians to rise to the stark changes facing us in the new law firm reality of layoffs, shrinking budgets and heightened insecurity. His basic message was clear: earn your seat and influence the management table by proving value and develop an overall understanding of your firm's goals. Often librarians are perceived as excellent researchers and information providers but their profile in the power structure of the firm can be low. This affects our ability to advance projects and communicate with decision makers which in turn diminishes our role. Strauss suggested that accomplishing what is best for the firm and the library is a combined effort involving proactive communication and strategic alignment on the part of the library manager. Blaming other departments or complaining about lack of exposure or receptiveness from management must be a thing of the past. If we don't get an answer, Strauss says we should find different ways to ask. He encouraged his audience to "manage their bosses" by finding ways to demonstrate our departmental contribution to the success of the firm. Reminding us, for example, that a dollar saved in expense can translate to three dollars in revenue. This is a time of opportunity for librarians and we must not shy away from the challenges. Understanding your firm's business and the opportunity that the current challenging conditions may offer the library is a critical path to success.

The full audio of this insightful conversation will be made available on the AALL web site in the upcoming days. Make sure to catch it!
