Profile Information

About me:

I'm the foreign and international law librarian at the University of Chicago Law School, D'Angelo Law Library. I am interested in social networking technologies and how they can be incorporated in law libraries. I am generally interested in new and emerging technologies. I co-edit (with Heidi Kuehl and Therese Arado) an AALL CALL chapter newsletter column called "TechBuzz" on the use of emerging technologies in law libraries.

I am very active in "old school" global networks such as the INT-LAW, an email list for group discussions of foreign, comparative, and international legal resources and related questions.

INT-LAW has close to 1000 members, including law librarians, law professors, law students, government documents specialists, government officials, agency staff, IT/computing services folks, database vendors, publishers, information professionals, etc., from all over the world. Subscription information and message archives are here:

http://listserver.ciesin.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A0=int-law

I compiled "Lyo's Law Lists", a guide to electronic discussion groups related to law, libraries, and law librarianship, from around 1998 until August 15, 2005. An un-updated version of my "Law Lists" guide to law- and library-related email lists is still on the Internet at:

http://www2.lib.uchicago.edu/~llou/lawlists.txt

I am exploring Second Life as the avatar, Montserrat Biedermann, to see if there are foreign, comparative, and international law resources there, and to see if any of our users are there.

I am currently participating in the "Law Librarians in Virtual Worlds" Second Life workshop (see http://vwlawlibrarians.wetpaint.com/).

I am also participating in the AALL Computing Services Special Interest Section (CS-SIS) Web 2.0 Challenge, July 21-August 24, 2008):

http://www.cssis.org/Web20Challenge/

(click on "Web 2.0 Challenge" to enter the course; click on "Log in as guest" to view course materials)

And our library is exploring meebo to chat with users with reference questions.

Montserrat is my social networking persona in most instances...:-)

The Law Librarian on Blog Talk Radio (Richard Leiter and Brian Striman's show)

Just listened in to the most recent radio show on "Managing Electronic Titles in Law Libraries" with guests, Yael Mandelstam and Angela Jones providing a technical services perspective. Great stuff! And there's a chat room where listeners can exchange information, links, and ask questions. There were up to 82 listeners today. The shows are archived so you can listen in later:

The Kindle for Law Libraries and Librarians (E-Book Readers)

I've drafted an article for a local newsletter on how the Kindle can be used in law settings. I tried to make it broadly applicable, but may have a law school library bias...:-) Anyway, comments and any other feedback are welcome!

[I've removed the draft pending publication of the article; will post new URL when the revised article is published - Lyo, June 2, 2009]

You could find some useful websites on HR and Development in my Delicious account - stenomast

At 8:36pm on August 30, 2009, Fred Dingledy said…: Thanks, Lyo! Glad to be here.

At 4:59am on August 3, 2009, Intekhan Alam Siddiqui said…: Thanks a lot. My interest is IT application in law libraries.

At 12:40am on July 30, 2009, Carole L. Hinchcliff said…: Dear Lyo,

Good to hear from you. What were the highlight of this year's AALL meeting?
Best,
Carole

At 3:00pm on June 26, 2009, Shawn Nevers said…: Thanks, Lyo! I've been meaning to get on here for a while, but today was finally the day.

At 9:43am on June 15, 2009, Joe Hodnicki said…: Hi Lyo. Thanks but Twitter's just not for me. Life's too short for 140 character messages or to put it another way, maybe I've got too much social media in my life already. Hell, I've been know to turn off my BlackBerry to avoid phone calls and emails! Tweats too, I think not.

And as you can see, it has taken me over a week to reply back to your comment because I don't check Ning as often as I should. Like Ning alot but I just don't chime in very often. Did I mention, I might already have too much social media in my life? LOL

BTW, say "hi" to Lorna Tang for me. 30 years ago I was the worst cataloging assistant she ever had. She keep me sane during library school by answering every question I ever asked her. I'd go to work after my cataloging classes and Lorna would take the time to explain what the lectures covered. All the best, Joe

At 3:22pm on June 1, 2009, Carla Downer Pritchett said…: Thanks, I'm going to need snow pictures as it gets warmer and warmer here!

At 2:57pm on May 6, 2009, Wanita Scroggs said…: Hi Lyo,

Thanks for the welcome! Slowly but surely I'm getting caught up with all the technology. How do you find time for everything?!?!
