HALL Newsletter Volume 31 Number 4 Summer 2014
Grant Report: First Time Attendee
By Kelly Boccell
Submit. “This email confirms your

Annual Meeting & Conference.
Thank you! PLEASE PRINT AND

you arrive.”
…and thus my first experience at
an AALL conference began. The
next thing I know, I’m receiving
emails and postcards from vendors
– stop by our booth at the exhibit
hall, come view a demonstration of
such and such, see what’s new with
so and so, and please join us for a
reception at this location. Then I
looked at the conference schedule – the general session/keynote speaker, the SIS
meetings, the educational sessions, the “recharge” sessions – and I thought, how am I
going to manage all of this? How do I decide what to go to? How do all of these
events rank in importance? Logistically, the conference seemed a bit overwhelming.
So I consulted the experts: my coworkers and various HALL members who had been
to AALL and other conferences. I listened to their suggestions, read some of the
advice on aall.net and then I began to get a game plan. I studied the educational
session listings, picked out my top session at each time slot and also took note of a

Editor’s Notes
As promised, we have switched to a quarterly
publishing cycle for the HALL Newsletter. Of
course, this is supposed to be the Summer issue
and, whether you place the start date just after
Labor Day or on the more traditional equinox,
this is certainly Fall. Nevertheless, it hardly feels
like Fall in Houston, so I think we can let this
one slide and try for a more traditional
publishing cycle starting with the Fall 2014 issue
being published in November. Please have items
for the Fall issue submitted by November 1.
This issue, like the July/August issues of
yesteryears, has our AALL Annual Meeting
Recap. With the national conference in our
backyard (i.e. San Antonio), HALL was well-
represented at the educational as well as the not-
so-educational events. Special thanks to Shelby
Shanks for coordinating a great HALL/DALL/
SWALL/UNT reception. If you missed the
Jicama Tacos at Acenar, it is certainly your loss.
Many thanks to Kelly Boccell for her top-
notch grant report in this issue. She does a great
job of conveying the “first timer’s” perspective
and recapping programs that are sure to be of
interest to novice and veteran alike. Kelly also
did a great job of representin’ Texas at the
AALL/Thomson Reuters Members Appreciation
Event, as you can see from the photo on page 1.

Continuing Education
We have had a great lineup of speakers so far
this year. Kicking things off in August was our
AALL Recap. Kelly Bocell, HALL grant
recipient to the AALL Annual Meeting, and Joe
Lawson spoke about their experiences in San
Antonio. At the September meeting, our own
Blythe McCoy spoke about how to strategically
market your skills as a librarian. This was a great
program that I think each of us will find helpful
in our workplaces. In October, Elliott
Fontenette of the Texas Legal Services Center
presented on the topic of the Self-Represented
Litigants Project, a program for pro se litigants
to help them find legal information. We have
even more great programs lined up throughout
the year – hope to see you there!

back-up session just in case the one I picked
wasn’t as interesting as I expected it to be.
Several people told me it was ok to get up and
walk out of a session and, in fact, they
announced as much at the opening session.
Next, I picked out the meetings that I decided I
just couldn’t miss, including the PLL-SIS Annual
Meeting and Luncheon and the HALL/SWALL/
DALL/UNT joint reception. My conference
schedule was beginning to take shape. I had a
plan!
I arrived in San Antonio on Saturday afternoon,
checked into my hotel and then headed to the
convention center to check in. There I received
my conference badge and my sole ribbon which
read, “FIRST TIME ATTENDEE.” I debated
putting it on my badge, but ultimately decided
the deer-in-the-headlights look on my face gave
me away anyway so I went ahead and attached it.
I was a little nervous heading into the exhibit
hall at the opening reception Saturday evening.
Nothing could prepare me for the number of
people and size of the exhibit hall. Where do I
start?!? Thankfully, I saw several familiar HALL
faces in the crowd and tagged along as we
stopped at a few different booths. I was able to
get my bearings, scope out the hall and make
note of the various vendors that I would like to
visit over the next few days.
Sunday morning I made my way back to the
conference center for the opening general
session. Andrew Keen delivered the keynote.
Mr. Keen is an Internet entrepreneur and
currently the host of Techcrunch’s “Keen On” as
well as a columnist for CNN and several other
sources. The topic of his keynote, “Disrupting
the Disrupters,” built upon the “Beyond
Boundaries” theme of AALL 2014. Keen noted
that the boundaries of a library used to be self-
evident – a physical place with walls in which
information was stored and accessed – but that
the digital age has blown away the old boundaries
of what a library is and what a librarian does. The
revolution began with the Internet and then the
World Wide Web, which provided a new
platform for communication and challenged
authority and expertise. For example, Google
leverages the collective expertise of data on the
web, an “intelligent” search engine that no longer
requires data to be curated by experts (think

A Conversation with Andrew Bennett By Patti Curtis Andrew was born in Waco. He went to Texas Tech from 2004 - 2008, and received a degree in History, minors i n M a s s Com m u ni c a t i o n and English. Also spent time in the Alpha Phi Omega Service Fraternity at Texas Tech. He attended UNT library school from 2009-2011, General Track (took some classes in advanced research and archiving).
Professional History:
Southwest Collections/Special Collections Library TTU/Student Assistant – 2 years
Fort Bend County Libraries – Library Assistant, Library Paraprofessional, Librarian – 6 years
Patti: Andrew, when did you decide to become a librarian?
Andrew: Got a job in the support services department at Texas Tech’s Southwest Collections/Special Collections Library, enjoyed it and started working in libraries. My professors wanted me to take the PhD route in history, but I didn’t want to teach and library school was better
option. Also, in high school, I helped out the elementary school librarian.
P: That would be fun to go back and work at the elementary school library.
P: What are your hobbies?
A: I have a two year old daughter and I am working on a novel. Also enjoy historical research and genealogy.
P: Do you have a favorite band?
A: Rock - Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, Seether, Dave Matthews Band, Imagine Dragons, New Age, Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden, Weezer, Red Hot Chili
Peppers, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, etc.
P: Good choices!
P: Do you like to cook?
A: My goal for the year is learning how to cook fish. This Summer I went salmon and halibut fishing in Alaska. I recently grilled halibut and salmon. It was a success.
P: Tell me about Alaska? Could you see Russia from where you were staying?
A: Alaska was a lot of fun. The weather stayed about 65 degrees and sunny, with some days reaching as high as 75 degrees. It cools off at night, getting down to the low 40s. It stays light starting at about 5 am and lasting until close to 11 pm. Twilight lasts for a long time in the morning

AALL2go Pick of the Month - Working Smart: Innovative Ways to Do More with Your Day AALL’s Continuing Professional Education
Committee presents the AALL2go pick of the
month: Working Smart: Innovative Ways to Do
More with Your Day
Often, whether in a law school or law firm
setting, the challenge is finding enough time to
get everything done. In particular, as summer’s
leisurely stroll winds down and fall accelerates
into full sprint mode, you may wish you had
more time in your day. This program offers you
techniques and technologies to facilitate greater
daily work efficiency and effectiveness. The
speaker, a law firm librarian, gives examples of
how you can do things in less time. You’ll find
suggestions, for instance, on how to make your
software work for you, how to get the most out
of your Outlook email and calendar settings, how
to use text entry shortcuts, and how to get a
handle on organizing folders and files. Click on
the Google Sites link to locate helpful materials
including the program handout and a selective
resource bibliography to RSS feeds/blogs, web
monitoring sources, methods of organizing
computer folders and files and setting up side-by-
side applications, and how-to screencasts on
adding items to your PC Start menu, saving an
email to your Outlook Calendar, and setting up
an Outlook Rule to isolate email from others in
your institution. Take time for this quick 30-
minute program and you’ll be “working smarter”
in short order!

Wikipedia). He said the revolution and collapse
of the old boundaries threatens the livelihood of
librarians, but at the same time it also provides
opportunities. Although Keen also argued that
there will always be boundaries, he challenged
law librarians to redefine their boundaries,
building upon their domain expertise and
curatorial skills to address the volumes of
uncurated content that their clients are
confronted with every day. He said librarians
should be enablers, not gatekeepers, helping to
manage information technology and ultimately
extract new insights from the vast quantities of
data being produced today. Lastly, Keen stated
that “average is over” and challenged librarians to
become superstars – to think like entrepreneurs,
to redefine and reinvent expertise, and to build
trust and authority and to lead people through
the data age.
I’ll spare y’all the play-by-play of the rest of the
conference and just highlight two of my favorite
sessions:
A3: Vendor Shootout at the Alamo:
Current Awareness Tools
Our very own Caren Luckie moderated this
session! The audience was a mix of people who
were using a current awareness tool already,
people looking for one to use, and a few who
were looking for a new tool to replace the old
one.
First to speak was Nina Platt of the LAC
Group, who spoke in general terms about
current awareness—the “filter failure” of some
services, and the current goals of using a service:
a smarter, more informed staff with better
knowledge of current and prospective clients,
auto-profiling, and one aggregator/e-mail. She
spoke of the history of current awareness, from
the olden days of multiple print newsletters, to
the future (“current awareness nirvana”).
Laura Whitbeck from Nixon Peabody spoke
next about her experience in choosing a current
awareness service. Her main goals were the
overall efficiency of the product, the ability for
personalization, the need for proactive
intelligence and desire to de-clutter
inboxes. Ultimately, she chose InfoNgen
because of its de-duplication technology, as well
as for its look, feel and search capability,
including the ability to sort and filter by type of

story. She said she has received positive feedback
from both attorneys and the library team.
Furthermore, she is pleased with the training,
support and responsiveness provided by the
InfoNgen service team.
Mark Gediman from
Best Best & Krieger
said that his primary
goal for choosing a
current awareness
service was efficiency
of use, as his firm has
two librarians and one
library assistant to
serve 200 attorneys in nine offices. The firm uses
BNA Convergence. He made the point of
distinguishing needs from wants when going
through the selection process. He defined some
of their needs as: competitor monitoring, topical
current awareness, value-added firm marketing,
as much automation as possible with a minimum
of curation, support of email or RSS, copyright
compliance and cost effectiveness. A few of
their wants included: mobile-friendliness, the
ability to add custom content and to create a new
newsletter quickly. Gediman praised
Convergence’s ability to support projects,
marketing, practice groups, business
development and competitive intelligence. He
said the service currently lacks metrics and that
they initially had difficulty with their spam
filters, but that the Convergence team provided
great support.
Jeffrey Bois from Foley & Lardner LLP chose
Manzama after a three-month trial period. He
had four main criteria for choosing a service: 1)
mobility – the ability to use it over multiple
platforms, including mobile-friendly service; 2)
usability –the way the service looks and feels and
the ease use; 3) flexibility – the applicability of
the service to multiple practice areas and groups
within the firm; and 4)
integrity – not only in
the company itself, but
also in the product,
especially with respect
to taxonomy. Bois also
e m p h a s i z e d t h e
i m p o r t a n c e o f
branding this work
(i.e. “by Research and Information Services”) and
rolling out the service to everyone, not just the
people who asked for it.
A common factor among the presenters is that
they all approached the search with a list of their
needs and wants, kept a close eye on the
responsiveness of the support team, and solicited
feedback both from attorneys and from library
staff. Interestingly, in all three firms the cost of
the current awareness service was allocated to
the library / information services budget rather
than splitting the cost with another department,
such as marketing. Each presenter felt it was
important to maintain control and manage the
product for his or her respective firm. Overall,
this session not only provided great tips on how
to choose a service but also offered a librarian’s
perspective on three different services.

R1: Recharge: Integrated Visibility:
Cultivating Solid Practices for Career
Success
Thom Singer, who has an eclectic background
working in sales and marketing, led this session.
He is now a professional speaker and the author
of several books related to business development
and business relationships. Singer proved to be a
very dynamic and engaging speaker who shared
many techniques for increasing one’s personal
visibility in an organization and developing
business relationships.
The session focused
on two keywords:
v i s i b i l i t y a n d
branding. Are we
being visible in the
workplace? Do we make opportunities to be
available to a variety of people? Networking
means visibility. Singer emphasized that we need
to tell our story (self promote), cultivate
partnerships, stand out from the crowd, be
relevant to key people and create business
connections. He said in business we have to be
known and we have to have a personal brand.
Actually, we have a personal brand whether we
created it or whether we just let it develop. We
need to be conscious of the brand we are
promoting and make adjustments if necessary.
We need to invest in our brand and be consistent
-- it may take a while to develop a brand, but
stick with it.
Singer also emphasized that networking is all
about human engagement and that choosing to
connect with people is the first step in becoming
more visible and presenting ourselves as the
experts that we are. There is a lot of “noise” in
the workplace and people have limited attention
spans, so we must stand out from the crowd and
be at the forefront of people’s thoughts. When
we have someone’s attention, we need to grab
the opportunity and make the best use of it. We
also need to remember it’s not just about
business. People are people and everyone is
dealing with his or her own “stuff.” We must
share experiences and connect with people on a
personal level. Often it’s the personal, shared
experiences such as where we went to college or
our favorite hobbies
that connect us to
people and make the
r e l a t i o n s h i p
memorable.
The following are Mr. Singer’s ABC’s of
Networking, AALL style:
A = Attitude. What is our attitude about our
job? About serving the people we work with?
We need to make a choice to be positive!
A = Action. We must take action to set
ourselves up for promotion. We must engage
and increase our visibility and take advantage of
opportunities as they arise.
L = Leading Edge. We must position ourselves
as thought leaders within our organization.
L = Learning. We must be committed to
learning more and being life-long learners.
Singer stressed that visibility and branding
require assembly. We must put the pieces
together and put them into action. Other people

and evening. We stayed on the Kenai Peninsula, which is south of Anchorage. I was there about a week. It’s a very hilly, mountainous area filled with rivers and lakes. You can still find snow fairly high up in the mountains. Normally, there are cool breezes coming in from both the ocean and the mountains even in summer. There are glaciers on both sides of the Cook Inlet, both on Kenai and on the mainland. We fished primarily on the Cook Inlet and the bays on the east and west side of Kenai. Cook Inlet is the sea on the western side of Kenai. We fished for salmon and halibut, very different kinds of fishing. Halibut
involves going out on a fishing boat in the Cook Inlet. Sometimes you spend an hour or more to get to the spot. Halibut are about 150-200 feet down and weigh anywhere from 10 – 40 lbs. They can be a handful to pull out of the water. Salmon, on the other hand, only range anywhere from 8 – 20 lbs and are fished in the rivers, although you can find them in the bay as well. You can find schools of Salmon as they come up the rivers to spawn. The Silver Salmon can be
handful if you get a big one and can be hard to reel in. Salmon are no more than 20 – 100 feet down in the bay and very shallow in the rivers.
P: Wow! That’s a nice trip. I’m still stuck on the temperatures. That’s Fall/Winter weather for us.
P: What about TV shows/movies?
A: I like historical movies/shows. Movies: Master and Commander, 300, Mel Brooks – Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Kingdom of Heaven, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Star Trek, Gettysburg, Lord of the Rings; Scott Pilgrim vs the World. TV: Game of Thrones, Justified, Falling Skies, Vikings, Castle.
P: I love Mel Brooks movies and I’m still hoping for History of the World Part 2.
P: Books? What are you reading? I’m going to guess historical type books, there seems to be a theme.
A: Historical/Sci-Fi/Fiction - The Last Full Measure (Jeff Shaara); Killer Angels (Michael Shaara); Destroyer series Taylor Anderson Deadly Shores. Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones Series), Sharpe Series and the Anglo-Saxon Series (Bernard Cornwell); Lord of the Rings, Timeline (Michael Crichton) Nonfiction: Anything Medieval History, Anglo-Saxon England, Byzantine/Roman History, Colonial America/Revolution, Military History, Civil War
P: I was correct about the historical choices. I’ll have to scope out some of these titles.

cannot network for us. We have to go out and
do it ourselves. We must assemble our own
visibility. Let’s get to it!
Actually, I was able to put many of the
strategies from this Recharge session to
immediate use at the conference. I met new
people from all over the country, from L.A. to
New York, Pittsburgh to Atlanta, and
everywhere in between. Some were private law
librarians, some were academic librarians, and
some were corporate librarians, among many
others. A few I even deemed “Conference
Buddies” as we ended up attending many of the
same events and sessions together and have even
corresponded with each other following the
conference. And, of course, I had many
opportunities to network with vendors in the
exhibit hall, including the teams from InfoNgen
and Manzama both of which were featured in the
“Vendor Shootout” session.
I don’t think I fully comprehended what a great
experience the AALL Conference is until I was
able to experience it for myself. Although I was
initially concerned about the logistics and making
sure I took advantage of all aspects of the
conference, I found that everything fell into
place and that all of my planning paid off. I
would like to thank the HALL Board as well as
the members of HALL for awarding me the grant
and providing me with the opportunity to attend
the conference. There can only ever be one first
AALL conference -- only one time to wear that
little white ribbon with those three bold words:
“FIRST TIME ATTENDEE.” I wore it proudly!

P: What's happening at the Fort Bend County Law Library?
A: We recently added Heinonline and we’re starting up “express class” database instruction for WestlawNext. A possible library expansion is in the works. We are adding a new person as part of the expansion and we broke computer usage records in August!
P: That is awesome that Fort Bend is expanding!
