The American Association of Law Libraries was founded in 1906 to promote and enhance the value of law libraries to the legal and public communities, to foster the profession of law librarianship, and to provide leadership in the field of legal information.
The Government Documents Special Interest Section was established in 1974 to disseminate information on government documents to AALL members, to further the continuing education of law librarians in documents librarianship, to coordinate the activities of law librarians in representing their interests to public and private groups, and to work in cooperation with documents groups in other associations and organizations.
For further information regarding the Association, the Section, and the Annual Meeting & Conference, see the AALL website at www.aallnet.org. Questions regarding the grant can be directed to:
