The Canadian Association of Law Libraries / Association Canadienne de Bibliothèques de Droit (CALL/ACBD) holds its annual conference May 3-6, 2015, in Moncton, NB. The theme is Turning the Tide / Renverser la Marée. Program proposals were due Oct. 20, 2014 (extended to Nov. 10).
The extended economic downturn has had wide-ranging effects on law libraries and the practice of law librarianship. We will explore ways in which libraries are confronting the new economic realities and are successfully turning the tide. We will examine ways in which we can improve all our various environments, from the micro work-office level to the macro industry level. In keeping with our theme, we also plan to make environmental law the focus of our substantive law sessions. We will see how law and law libraries can be transformative in nature and will look to the future to develop solutions ahead of the waves.
