ORALL 2017 Program Descriptions (Note: Speakers and topics are subject to change, and we will do our best to update attendees if this occurs.)

Wednesday, October 18, 2017

4:30 pm – 5:30 pm

Preconference Session A: Conference Hotel Room TBD New ORALLians This program will benefit anyone wishing to maximize their involvement in ORALL and jump-start their conference experience. The program will start with a brief presentation covering the presenters’ tips for new conference attendees. This will be followed by a panel of speakers, who will introduce ORALL and give advice for new members wishing to become more involved in ORALL through activities such as publishing in the newsletter and volunteering for committees. The second half of the program will be interactive, with icebreakers and quick exercises designed to jumpstart your ORALL engagement. Participants will leave with new acquaintances and can continue to build on these mini-conversations over the course of the conference.

Speakers: Amelia Landenberger, Marissa Mason, Shannon Kemen, and additional panelists

Preconference Session B: Conference Hotel Room TBD

ORALLian Leadership: Winning Strategies Over the past three years, speaker Andrew Dorchak has attended both a year-long leadership training program (eight full-day sessions on various topics) for staff offered by CWRU and the 2017 AALL Management Institute (2.5 days), facilitated by Maureen Sullivan. These two programs on cutting-edge leadership skills offered both common and unique perspectives, which Mr. Dorchak will draw on to help teach ORALL colleagues, especially those who are in long-term supervisory positions, ways to improve their work situations. And maybe even their lives! Speaker: Andrew Dorchak

Thursday, October 19, 2017 9:00 am – 10:00 am

Session 1: Tinkham Veale: Ballrooms A & B Legal Research in ORALL States Compared and Contrasted A variation on last year’s popular presentation; this year we will take a particular area of law (e.g., regulatory) and do a deeper dive of the similarities and differences between ORALL states. Come ready to share your specialized legal research knowledge about ORALL states and any other states’ quirks that might help legal researchers. Speakers: Sara Sampson, Ashley Ahlbrand, and Amelia Landenberger

10:30 am – 11:30 am

Session 2A: Tinkham Veale: Ballroom A How to Find Things Online When They've "Disappeared"

What do you do when something you or your patrons relied on has disappeared from the Internet? We will cover the Wayback Machine on the Internet Archive, digital preservation projects designed to combat link rot (among other things), and a variety of tips and tricks for finding things online that seem to have disappeared.

Speakers: Ingrid Mattson and Stephanie Ziegler

Session 2B: Tinkham Veale: Ballroom B

How Does the Unauthorized Practice of Law Differ from Reference "Services?

This presentation will help you understand the legal definition of the unauthorized practice of law (UPL), the application of the legal definition to hypothetical situations, and why you should care (i.e., what penalties you could face for UPL).

Speakers: SaraJean Petite

1:05 pm – 2:05 pm Session 3A: Tinkham Veale: Ballroom A

Academic Outreach: Expanding the Role of the Law Library Within a Larger Academic Institution Many law schools are part of a larger college or university system. Libraries for those schools often have the opportunity to serve a much larger academic community than just the law school. This session will cover winning strategies for serving the larger university community—marketing and outreach to non-law students and professors, ideas for services, collaboration with other libraries, good practices for teaching and providing assistance, and ways to raise the profile of the law library on the campus in general. In addition, the session will cover ways in which a strong collaborative relationship with the greater campus can benefit the law school, including undergraduate recruitment and increased library usage statistics. Speakers: L. Cindy Dabney and Kimberly Mattioli

Session 3B: Tinkham Veale: Ballroom B

Strategies for Coping with Chaos or How We Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Destruction The Law Library at the University of Kentucky is in the midst of a renovation and will be in temporary housing with little to no access to the physical collection for at least two years. The law firm library at Bricker and Eckler is also in the midst of a complete renovation along with the building’s lobby. It has morphed from one central library to a number of smaller “satellite” libraries (at least one of which is temporary until a permanent home has been constructed). This is a multi-part move involving an initial elimination of approximately half of the collection.

Librarians from these two very different institutions will discuss how they prioritized their service in times of change and upheaval. The panelists will discuss planning ahead, adapting to changing circumstances, letting go of unnecessary burdens, and the joy of weeding the collection.

This panel will be a follow-up from last year’s panel Rising from the Ashes and Dust: Building

Better Library Services while They’re Literally Building You A Better Library and will describe how the University of Kentucky’s move has progressed and how the librarians have shed their naiveté. We will compare our experience to the moves at Bricker and Eckler and discuss our shared lessons and different challenges. Speakers: Beau Steenken, Amelia Landenberger, Carolyn Vinyard, and Patty Alvayay

2:15 pm – 3:15 pm Session 4A: Tinkham Veale: Ballroom A

Active Shooter Alert: Lessons Learned In the fall of 2016, an Active Shooter Alert was issued on The Ohio State University campus. During the alert, two of our librarians were teaching, and others were working in the library. In this program, we will talk about that day, what we did, and how we are using what we learned to improve our emergency planning.

Speakers: Sara Sampson and Stephanie Ziegler

Session 4B: Tinkham Veale: Ballroom B Introduction to Patent and Trademark Searching with the USPTO

IP law is on the rise, but how many of us know exactly what makes a patent or trademark? Where do we start, how do we search? Learn the basics of patents and trademarks using information from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, as well as search techniques for the USPTO and European Patent Office. Speaker: Jim Bettinger and Sarah Dobransky

3:30 pm – 4:30 pm Session 5A: Tinkham Senior Classroom Cool Tools & Poster Sessions

Back by popular demand, this year’s cool tools demonstrations and poster sessions will give you a chance to see the latest and greatest tech tools, including Gavel Note, and instructional trends to help you build your information services skillset. Session 5B: Tinkham Veale – Specific Locations TBD Roundtables New this year, we’ll have roundtables on various topics. Join a roundtable to share your ideas and experience and to learn from your colleagues exploring similar issues. Zero-based Budgeting By its very definition, item-based budgeting means that you budget at the item level for every expense, which is ultimately the most accurate way by which your library can budget. This method sounds good in theory, but it does have its challenges. Not only will you need to predict the cost of each item, but you will also have to defend purchasing each item and be able to explain why it is needed. And then, how do you predict one-off purchases? This roundtable (lead by Larissa Sullivant, IU Robert McKinney School of Law) will explore current challenges of library budgeting and will focus on both advantages and disadvantages of zero-based budgeting.

Work-life Balance

Librarians are asked to do more with less, and the methods tried may be more or less successful. Some methods include finding efficiencies, taking on multiple roles after colleagues retire or move and their positions aren’t filled, and increased cross-departmental collaboration coupled with a flatter management structure. Come talk about what has or has not worked for your library, and learn from your colleagues possible strategies to take home.

Friday, October 17, 2014 9:45 am – 10:45 am Session 6A: Tinkham Veale: Ballroom A

Creative Spaces: The New Learning Commons at Cleveland-Marshall In 2017, the Judy and Robert H. Rawson, Jr. Learning Commons opened in the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law Library. The Learning Commons is an open, technologically advanced space that is designed to encourage collaborative learning. This program will discuss issues such as:

• What is a Learning Commons and what do students and faculty use it for? • What challenges did staff and administration face in the planning and building of the

Learning Commons? • How can libraries deal with a significant loss of space for their collections due to the

installation of a Learning Commons? • How can librarians encourage students and faculty to utilize the Learning Commons? • How can library staff best handle scheduling events and staffing the Learning Commons? • What is the future of the Learning Commons?

Speakers: Amy Burchfield, Neeri Rao, and Brian Cassidy

Session 6B: Tinkham Veale: Ballroom B Access to Print, Access to Justice (Revisited) At the 2015 ORALL Annual Meeting in Fort Wayne, speaker Kimberly Mattioli gave a presentation entitled “Access to Print, Access to Justice.” That presentation discussed the current state of legal education and the call for law libraries to reduce their print collections. She aimed to move the discussion away from how this phenomenon impacts law librarians and focus instead on how it affects self-represented litigants (many of whom may be digitally illiterate) who rely on print materials to conduct their legal research. In the intervening two years, Ms. Mattioli has conducted a survey of law libraries from across the country and completed a review of the applicable literature on self-represented litigants, digital literacy, and law library budgets. This presentation will serve to update the ORALL membership on this topic, provide them with survey data, and inform them of the conclusions she has drawn from her research. Speaker: Kimberly Mattioli

11:10 am – 12:10 am

Session 7A: Tinkham Veale: Ballroom A Analogies Designed to Make Learning Legal Research Easier Reporters, statutes, and legal encyclopedias are all foreign to first year law students and public patrons (and frankly, some attorneys), but legal research instruction can build on these patrons’ prior research experiences. Research projects based on everyday tasks can help patrons understand how to use legal research tools. We discuss travel research, gift research, and online shopping to introduce patrons to concepts like using secondary sources and faceted searches. This interactive session will also give attendees an opportunity to share their analogies. Attendees will leave with a cumulative list of all of the useful analogies shared during the session.

Speakers: Susan Azyndar, Katherine Kelly, Ingrid Mattson, and Erin Waltz

Session 7B: Tinkham Veale: Ballroom B Slam-Dunk CLEs

The Supreme Court of Ohio’s web page for potential CLE sponsors explains that the Ohio CLE Commission “…approves individual activities, not Sponsors. This means that any sponsor may submit an application for accreditation and, if the activity meets our standards, the program will be approved.” With their devotion to legal research and education, law libraries are the ideal sponsors for CLE programs, but many law libraries have never offered their own CLEs. The process is simple, and law libraries can rely on the expertise of their staff, their patrons, their local courts, or law school faculty. “Slam-Dunk CLEs” will illustrate how easy it can be for law libraries to plan a CLE program and obtain approval. While the presentation’s focus will be on county law libraries, the strategies provided will be applicable to any type of law library. “Slam-Dunk CLEs” will also present methods for finding winning topics and speakers and provide examples of library-sponsored CLEs that have proven successful. Finally, the presentation will offer suggestions for even the smallest law libraries with limited staff and resources and invite participants to share their own topic ideas or examples of successful programs they have offered, if applicable.
