Legal Research Weekly cites From
the March 30, 2008 issue [#293] of Internet
Legal Research Weekly: State libraries are increasingly developing terrific online resources, and the California State Library site is no exception. Although of course you'll find more at the physical library itself, the online version provides a whole lotta stuff. You have access to all of the library's catalogs, so that you can find books, legal materials, documents, maps, videos, and more. There's a picture catalog featuring selected images from the library's collections, and a good set of online resources. You can also subscribe to one of 5 RSS feeds, to keep up with the latest developments. Aldrich’s Santiago workshop deemed “excellent” To Stacey Aldrich, Deputy State Librarian: Thank
you so much for your excellent presentation at the Santiago Library
System’s Reference Committee workshop. You were, indeed, the perfect
speaker for “Future Trends in Reference.” Your talk was informative
and inspiring. We could have listened to you for much longer! Many
of us, including me, will be checking out your blog to find the information you
referenced. I know that putting together a presentation of this quality
takes a lot of time and dedication, and it was clear that you worked hard for
us. You have motivated us to take the next steps into the future. Melinda

Lorda Palos Verdes Library District Director applauds CSL publication In
a prior life I was responsible for a large pension fund, so I had more exposure
than I would have liked to actuarial analysis and the complexities of pension
funding. Now I am responsible for managing total employment costs for our
special library district, so the issue is still of concern. Actuarially
Speaking: A Plain Language Summary of Actuarial Methods and Practices for Public
Employee Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefits
is one of the clearest
explanations I have seen of how pension liabilities are calculated and of the
room for variability in the outcomes. Congratulations
to author Grant Boyken and the others who contributed on producing this
document. Kathy
Gould Gates Foundation leader applauds ARSL progress Congratulations
on the progress [the Association
for Rural and Small Libraries] has made in a short amount of time. The
foundation was pleased to have WebJunction use their residual Rural
Sustainability grant funds to ARSL to build your capacity as an
organization. The
Foundation would also like to express its appreciation to BCR for serving as ARSL's fiscal
agent. Thanks again for taking time to provide the update on your
work and all the best in planning for your conference – it’s great
to see this gathering happening on the west coast! Jill
Nishi Thank
you to CSL Librarian for work with I
am a clerical assistant at the Habeas Corpus Resource Center, a Additionally,
in the two or so cases when an item was not available at the California State
Library, Mr. Cismowski was thorough in explaining which library might have the
item. Mr.
Cismowski blew me away with his high level of professionalism and helpfulness.
Without him and the California State Library as a resource, I'm sure we'd
still be desperately searching around for our materials.
In fact, I have emailed his contact information to the staff as research
projects pop up quite often in the course of our work.
Thank
you to the California State Library, and thank you to Mr. Cismowski! Zoe

thanks for including us in the Transforming Life after 50 Institute.
We greatly enjoyed the opportunity to hear the experts speak about
how libraries can effectively serve the diverse clientele. It
was a pleasure to connect with so many dedicated and energetic public
librarians. We’re so pleased that
the California State Library will be providing them the tools they will need to
create successful programs. We’ll
be watching as your project unfolds; if there is anything these two Oregonians
can do you for you, please let us know! Congratulations
