All public librarians are encouraged to apply for a scholarship, sponsored by the LLNE Service Committee, to attend our chapter’s Legal Research Instruction Program.
The Legal Research Instruction Program (LRIP) is a six week seminar geared towards public librarians interested in learning more about law librarianship. Each week, a different aspect of legal research is covered, everything from an overview of the U.S. legal system to finding transactional law documents. The class will run on Tuesday evenings from April 10th – May 15th. The six classes will be held from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Suffolk Law in Boston. For more information about the LRIP course, go to http://llne.org/legalresearchinstruction/ or contact Brian Flaherty directly at brian2@bu.edu.
The LLNE Service Committee is providing two scholarships to cover the cost of registration. Applicants must be public (non-law) librarians from the New England area. For more information and to apply, go to http://llne.org/committees/service/. Please send applications to Jessica Almeida at jessica.almeida@umassd.edu by Friday, March 30, 2018.
We encourage all LLNE members to share this scholarship opportunity with their local public libraries and any public librarians that would be interested in this excellent professional development opportunity.
