This honor couldn’t have gone to a more deserving individual. Karen has a long record of service to AALL. Heck, she was even President of CoALL way back when.

Karen will serve a three year term on the Board, from 2018 to 2021, during which time she will undoubtedly represent law librarianship in Colorado in the best possible light. Here’s to an illustrious tenure in the big show, Karen. Go make us proud!

CoALL’s 2016-2017 Annual Report has been submitted to AALL and will be published in the Chapter Annual Reports section of AALLNET.  Annual reports are a public record of the activities of each AALL entity over the past year.  Reports are also distributed to members of the AALL Executive Board to help them monitor the progress being made toward the Association’s strategic directions.  A more detailed 2016-2017 Annual Report is available here.

Congratulations to CoALL members Karina Condra and Peter Kersten of the Westminster Law Library, University of Denver Strum College of Law, for winning AALL’s Law Library Publications Award – Print Division.  This award was given in recognition of their Certificate in Legal Research Marketing Materials.
