Law Libraries Reaching for the Sky: Practical Applications of Web 2.0 Technology
| Speaker: |

Fichter, Data Library Coordinator, University of Saskatchewan Library and Intranet Librarian columnist for ONLINE magazine |
| Moderator: |
Connie Crosby |
| Sponsored by
Toronto Lawyers Association |
In the blink of the eye, the information landscape that we work in has changed profoundly from information scarcity to information abundance, from mediated services to self service, from print to digital, from serving baby boomers to millennials. We all know change is happening and have taken time to explore online sites like YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, Flickr and others, but what does this mean for info pros? What is just hype or entertainment value and what is actually transforming the way legal professionals work or want to work if they could? What should we be doing as
information professionals to provide services today and tomorrow? If the sky is the limit, what should we pay attention to and be doing now?
Join IT goddess, Darlene Fichter, as she offers practical tips for incorporating Web 2.0 technologies into your library services.

Evidence-Based Librarianship
There is a significant amount of activity in the area of evidence-based librarianship: an electronic journal Evidence-Based Library and Information Practice founded at the University of Alberta, a CLA Interest Group and a 2006 article in (2006) 98 Law Library Journal 33 by Susan Lerdal "Evidence-Based Librarianship: Opportunity for Law Librarians". Virginia Wilson will give an overview of the field, its application to law librarianship and resources for librarians conducting research in this area.

Our panel of experts follow a judgment from its conception at the hands of a judge, through the standards that the court imposes before the judgment leaves the court, to the hands of the publisher, both electronic and print, and then to where the judgment finally is stored in the court registry files. Learn what standards are applied at each stage of the journey, in terms of style of cause, privacy, bi-lingual or translation choices, time deadlines and why some decisions are chosen and others not. As librarians we could be asked to retrieve judgments at any one of these stages, so understanding the journey is essential.

RDA and the Future of Information Control
Resource Description and Access (RDA) emerged out of a planned revision and updating of AACR2. It has since become an undertaking that hopes to transform cataloguing standards so they stay relevant and capable of adapting to the contemporary information environment. RDA builds on two centuries of cataloguing expertise and represents an opportunity to share this experience with a wider and potentially non-library audience. This session will provide an update on the progress of RDA and explore the future of cataloguing in a
"digital world”.
Military Law in Canada
With the current war in Iraq, Canadian Armed Forces in Afghanistan, allegations of torture and extraordinary rendition of persons, we as law librarians may be asked about military law in Canada. We need to know more about the laws of war as well as internal laws, tribunals and processes that govern our military. This session will provide a brief overview of military justice in Canada and where to find materials in this area.

Access to
Electronic Court Records and Privacy
In September 2003, the Canadian Judicial Council
released a discussion paper entitled "Open
Courts, Electronic Access to Court Records, and Privacy," and invited comments from media,
litigants, legal and academic communities and commercial users of
court documents.
Canadian
courts have consistently held that the openness of court proceedings
is an important constitutional principle. But in recent years, the
emergence of e-filing and the increasing availability of court information
over the Internet and via commercial databases have raised new
questions. New technologies increase the risks that court
information might be used for improper purposes such as commercial
data mining, identity theft, stalking, harassment and
discrimination.
There is no consensus yet about the desirability or even the feasibility
of various types of restrictions on electronic access to court
records. And there are many divergent opinions regarding how
practices on electronic access to court records should or could be
harmonized across jurisdictions. Is openness always a good thing?
Should we tolerate that access to court information be restricted if
"justice must be done in public and seen to be done"?

As librarians, we're very used to dealing with documents in any format - whether the record is in a book, on a CD or in a database, we have the knowledge and expertise to collect and organise to permit access and reuse. It's what we do. What happens when the knowledge isn't recorded? Welcome to the world of tacit knowledge. Join us for a discussion of the challenge of tacit knowledge - the insight and wisdom that people accumulate through experience. Now that organisations have come to value "the stuff in our heads", how can they manage it? Can they, in reality? Topics to be addressed include:
- an introduction to tacit knowledge (as distinguished from explicit knowledge)
- models for capturing and controlling tacit knowledge - what works?
- how libraries/librarians can support tacit knowledge transfer

If you are what you eat, will you become genetically modified? Our experts will explain the policy and legal issues that made the Saskatchewan case of Monsanto v. Schmeiser, a cause célèbre. This case takes place in the context of patent law and illustrates the rights and protection that current Canadian law bestows upon agricultural biotechnology corporations that produce genetically-modified seeds and the like. However, the Schmeiser case and others raise other issues as well. How does Canada’s standard of environmental assessment regulation of GM foods compare to the standards of other countries? What about the rights of farmers: should their right to choose to grow, for example, organic produce, or at the very least, non-GM crops, be protected? What about food safety? Should consumers have the right to know what foods they eat contain GM ingredients?
Professor Martin Phillipson of the College of Law, University of Saskatchewan has researched and published extensively in the area of biotechnology and patent law, in addition to teaching and publishing generally in the areas of intellectual property and international environmental law. Mr. Richard Danyliuk,
Q.C. is a litigation specialist with the Saskatoon law firm of McDougall Gauley and has particular expertise in the area of intellectual property disputes and class action suits.

Court House Security: One Province’s Experience

Speaker: |
Mr. Bryan
Bulloch, Director of Security Operations, Government of Alberta |
|
Moderator: |
Susan Jones |
Hosted by the Courthouse & Law Society SIG
Sponsored by Canadian Law Society &
Courthouse Library Directors |
Courthouse security is a topic of particular interest to law librarians for a couple of reasons. First, courthouse security seems to be an issue reported more frequently in the media today, and second, there is a group of law librarians who work every day in courthouse libraries across this country. In this session, a representative from the Government of Alberta will share the experience of implementing province-wide security measures in its courthouses as part of a three-year, comprehensive security plan. Topics to be discussed include the state of courthouse security across Canada, the driving force behind Alberta's security plan, the type of security measures implemented in Alberta's courthouses, how persons are affected by those security measures, and the important security issues of the future.

"The lawyer's stock in trade is the sale of legal services, not photocopy paper, tuna fish sandwiches, computer time or messenger services" (ABA Formal Opn. 93- 379, p 8). This opinion issued by the American Bar Association in 1993 forced private law libraries – already thought of as sink-holes in law firm budgets - to scramble for cost recovery tools that justified the extremely high costs of online legal research. The Private Law Libraries SIG invites you to examine the
landscape of cost recovery 14 years later with a panel of guest speakers who will discuss the role of cost recovery in law firm economics; review the current ethical issues and jurisprudence surrounding cost recovery; and examine the challenges that exist now in designing and implementing cost recovery policies.

"In some South Pacific cultures, a speaker holds a conch shell as a symbol of temporary position of authority. Leaders must understand who holds the conch, that is, who should be listened to and when."
Max de Pree
In the article “Cultural Training is Increasingly Vital for Global Lawyers” V.27 No. 35 Lawyer's Weekly (Jan. 25, 2008), Donalee Moulton quotes Jane Clark, a partner with Gowling Lafleur Henderson LLP in Ottawa who heads up the firm’s China Practice Group “Successful business is always about relationships, and understanding culture assists with those relationships. It makes sense to understand more cultures”. That said, it is both impressive and effective to understand the culture in which you are doing business and demonstrating that understanding to clients. “There are cultural sensitivities even when you are dealing domestically,” said Neena Gupta, a partner with Gowlings in Waterloo who heads up the firm’s India Practice Group. ... Such cultural skills – speaking another language, being familiar with another culture, having lived outside Canada – while often acknowledged as softer skills are still seen as an enhancement to core legal skills.
Join us for this truly thought-provoking session on cross-cultural communications. As law librarians, we encounter a wide diversity of clientele on a daily basis. Serving these patrons is our business. Interacting in a culturally-sensitive manner is a skill which we can and should continue to develop. Where can we find out more information about the way other cultures relate, communicate and learn? This session will introduce you to the fascinating world of cross-cultural communications. As law librarians, as travellers, and as human beings, this session will be of interest to
all!
Is Normal Working for You?
Speaker: Gregg
Cochlan, Strategic Architect, thinc.
Moderator: Mary Tastad
Sponsored by McDougall Gauley LLP
We are all affected by how we think as individuals. In turn, each of us thinks in ways which grow out of the various cultures we inhabit, whether they be organizational, religious, ethnic and political. Thinking, individual and collective, leads to adopting a state of mind, which we sometime unquestioningly adopt as “normal”. However, what is normal may not be beneficial to us as individuals, or to our organizations and our country.
The study of how thinking affects cultures and behaviours has been the leitmotif of he Pacific Institute, founded in the 1980’s by Lou and Diane Tice. It devotes itself to the application of cognitive psychology to educational organizations, corporations and governments to assist them to determine how to determine what beliefs and expectations they have that create inimical cultures that are experienced as “normal” and then change the thinking that will in turn change the culture.
Gregg Cochlan is an affiliate of the Pacific Institute, a leadership coach and performance management consultant. Greg has established a consulting company, thinc, Corporate Change Architect to offer guidance to corporations and government in the management of change, imposed or self-initiated. In this session, Gregg offers a workshop approach to acquaint us with the Pacific Institute’s ethos and to use it to assessing whether our “normal” is working for us.
