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.

State Legislative Research: 50 States in 50 Weeks

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!
