With funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to the National Center for State Courts, the Self-Represented Litigation Network, in cooperation with Legal Services Corp., is presenting a two-day conference on January 11–12, in Austin, Texas, that addresses how public libraries can improve their patrons’ access to online legal information.
The conference will be a unique opportunity to meet with public librarians and legal and court experts to discuss strategies for integrating access to legal information into your programs, including how to find the best content and tools, talk about the content with library patrons, form partnerships to develop content, share what you have learned, and advocate for the importance of public libraries as gateways to government information.
The supporting material and information resulting from this conference will be published on WebJunction Illinois in the Legal Information section.
