Sandy: Janice Snyder Anderson told me today that Georgetown University Williams Law Center is holding a symposium on July 25, entitled "The Future of Today's Legal Scholarship," http://www.ll.georgetown.edu/ftls/ one of the goals of which is to develop a uniform standard for preserving scholarly blogs. Laura E. Campbell of LC and Linda Frueh of the Internet Archive, well-known leaders in digital preservation, are scheduled to participate. All are welcome to the symposium, which will be held in honor of the late Bob Oakley; online registration will be available next month. I'll let you know of other activities as I learn of them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Robert C.

One hears that some of the most authoritative and important new legal publishing in short form is now being done by leading scholars through blogs. Are librarians thinking about ways of preserving this elusive literature?" Thanks for raising this important issue, which I believe Ann Okerson also raised respecting general academic libraries, at her ALA Midwinter presentation, http://wikis.ala.org/midwinter2009/index.php/ALCTS#Costs_of_Continuing_Resources_in_Libraries_Interest_Group Yes, this topic is currently being discussed by the special interest sections of the American Association of Law Libraries (AALL), and I hope to have more detail shortly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Robert C.
