LinkedIn Trick - Finding Names

I knew this morning that I felt a blog post coming on... (it's a little like a cold with less sneezing)

Does everybody know this trick? Maybe I'm the last one to figure it out...either way, it's a good one! I didn't want to pick on anyone so I've redacted this, hope it still makes sense.

How to find LinkedIn names where you see only the person's title.

State Legislative Research: 50 States in 50 Weeks

State Legislative Research: 50 States in 50 Weeks

by: Janet Katz - June 22nd, 2011 Add Comment

Our friend Kate Follen, law librarian gone info pro, has undertaken a blogging challenge for which law librarians across the country will be grateful.

Week by week, she posts to Monroe Infoblog links to state legislative information online that she has collected in her work. No surprise, she is tackling the states in alphabetical order. Last week was Week 4: Arkansas.

Each post also includes Fast Facts about the state’s legislative process and links to regulatory information and to the web sites of state newspapers. You can receive updates on her progress by following her on Twitter @katefollen or by subscribing to a feed from her blog.

Thanks, Kate!

The Myth and the Madness of Cost Effective Lexis and Westlaw Research Training

Friday food for thought:

Dewey B Strategic: The Myth and the Madness of Cost Effective Lexis and Westlaw Research Training

The Myth and the Madness of Cost Effective Lexis and Westlaw Research Training

An Alternative title to this post might be “Vendor Sourcing: The Digital Edition.” Like the print issues outlined in my post of February 17th, "Vendor Sourcing: Thinking the Unthinkable...", this post will examine how Lexis and Westlaw pricing strategies have shifted substantial administrative burdens onto their law firm customers which not only drive up administrative costs but have a perversely negative impact on the practice of law.

AALL2go Pick of the Month: Federal Regulatory Information and Where to Find It

AALL's Continuing Professional Education Committee presents the AALL2go pick of the month: Federal Regulatory Information and Where to Find It.

In this one-hour video, David Pritzker of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Regulatory Information Service Center provides a handy tutorial on the federal rulemaking process, including where the public can find access to federal regulations. The GSA Regulatory Information Center publishes a semiannual unified agenda on regulatory actions under development. The fall publication of the agenda includes a regulatory plan identifying current regulatory priorities and highlighting significant regulatory actions expected in the coming year. The center also helped establish Reginfo.gov to provide a “regulatory dashboard” of current information on the regulatory process, which includes handy FAQs on the regulatory process and hyperlinks to government sources for the regulations.

Pritzker's presentation explains the evolution of public access to regulatory information (including the genesis of the Code of Federal Regulations and Federal Register), how the Administrative Procedure Act creates a legal framework for the adoption of regulations in a manner allowing for public input, and where to find regulatory information, including new, free web-based government resources.
