Threats revealed by the information they gather on their external
environment.
Participants will be able to use the elements of the SPOT analysis
to prepare or amend plans for problem solving and decision making.

Do you know how to increase your sphere of influence? Who will be
your next champion? Librarians face challenging circumstances in the
current law firm environment. We all need to have an understanding

effectively. This program will provide an opportunity to share
strategies for partnering with other firm departments (conflicts,
recruiting, marketing, IT, training, accounting, HR, etc.) to better
work toward common goals/objectives. Speakers will explain how to
communicate this strategy to management and how partnering will
affect the perceived value of the library within the entire firm.

LIBRARIAN TO LIBRARIAN . . .
AALL Meeting an Annual Reminder
of Professional, Personal Commitments
A Message from
Cindy Spohr
Senior Director
LexisNexis Librarian Relations Group
I recently RSVP’d for my high school class reunion. I missed the
last reunion because it conflicted with the AALL Annual Meeting, but
this year, when the invitation arrived in the mail, and I saw that
it didn’t conflict, I thought this might be a good year to attend
(especially after I twisted the arm of a good friend from high
school to attend as well!)
There is something about reunions that make us think back through
the years, and since we are also in the height of planning for the
AALL Annual Meeting, I couldn’t help but reflect on my time in AALL.
My first AALL meeting was in Washington, D.C., in 1981—after only
11 months with a law firm. It was a time of many first experiences
for me. Fortunately I had the chance to attend the Conference of
Newer Law Librarians (CONELL) program, which was an excellent way to
start. As a solo law firm librarian, it was wonderful to spend time
with other librarians and to hear of their struggles, successes and
failures, and I went back to my firm rejuvenated. The many contacts
I made at that first meeting convinced me I was in the right
profession.
Just as I continue to have a long and rewarding experience with
AALL personally, so do LexisNexis and the Librarian Relations Group.
LexisNexis created the first AALL endowed scholarship in memory
of John R. Johnson, who led the newly
formed LexisNexis Librarian Relations Group for a short time until
his untimely death in 1994. Since endowing the scholarship later
that year, more than 55 scholarships have been awarded in
John’s name.
In addition, since 1953, Matthew Bender (and subsequently
LexisNexis) has awarded almost 300 grants and scholarships to
assist law librarians with their education or with attending the
annual meeting.
In July 2000, LexisNexis further enhanced our partnership with
AALL by establishing an endowed Research Grant program to promote
continued research work by librarians for the betterment of the
profession.
LexisNexis also has a long history in supporting law librarians’
professional development through our Teaching Research
conferences for law firm, academic and court/agency librarians,
as well as through our Advanced Management program. The first
program was held in the late 1980s and currently two conferences are
held each year—one each spring and one in conjunction with the AALL
Annual Meeting. I have personally worked on these programs since the
TRIPLL (Teaching Legal Research in Private Law Libraries) Conference
in 1994, and I can honestly say I learn something new at every
session. We are proud of the more than 800 “graduates” of these
programs.
At every AALL Annual Meeting you will see that LexisNexis
sponsors a variety of functions for individual special interest
sections. We believe that our support helps sustain the work of
these groups, and we are pleased to play a role in their continued
success.
Throughout the year, the LexisNexis Librarian Relations Group
supports AALL local chapters at their meetings and
conferences. The 15 librarian members of the LexisNexis Librarian
Relations Group also participate on many national and local
committees to further the work of the association.
Lastly we are very pleased to partner with the association again
this year as the sponsor of the Opening Event and are looking
forward to seeing you all while enjoying some wonderful desserts!
It is good to reflect on our relationships and progress over the
years, and to catch up with many friends whom we haven’t seen in a
while. In fact, the AALL Annual Meeting has effectively become a
reunion of sorts—an annual ritual that reminds me that I am still
thrilled with my chosen profession.
I look forward to seeing you at this year’s AALL Annual Meeting.
SPOTLIGHT
ON . . .
JurisPro®, the Comprehensive Expert Witness Directory, Joins the
LexisNexis Services Exclusively
Now you and your library patrons have access to one of the most
comprehensive, national expert witness databases available.
About the JurisPro Expert Witness Directory
JurisPro was founded by practicing attorneys who wanted to make it
easy for legal professionals to find and research expert witnesses.
Why JurisPro is Important
Virtually every litigation matter involves expert witnesses. The
right expert witness can make or break a case. As such, it is
important to find the right expert, and research that expert prior
to retention.
It is equally as important to investigate the opponent’s expert(s).
Both tasks can be performed through the JurisPro Expert Witness
Directory.
Information Available Through JurisPro
Through the directory, you can find and research experts in more
than 4,000 areas of expertise and get their contact information
(address, phone, fax and e-mail). There are also links to experts’
Web sites.
Plus you can link to the expert’s profile on the JurisPro Web site
where you can:
- Download and/or print* the expert’s full curriculum vitae. (JurisPro
is the only database to have experts’ original CVs.)
- Hear the expert speak to get an idea of how the expert presents
him or herself. (JurisPro is the only database with this feature.)
- View the expert’s photo.
- Read articles the expert has written that demonstrate his or her
expertise.
- Contact the expert’s references.
- Research the expert's background as an expert witness, including:
o Professional accreditations, degrees, licenses, and certificates
granted
o Affiliations or memberships in any professional and/or industry
organizations
o Teaching or speaking experience
o Whether any of the expert’s accreditations have ever been
investigated,
suspended or removed
o Number of occasions the expert has been retained as an expert
o The areas of expertise for which the expert has been retained
o The percentage of retention by the plaintiff and defendant
o Number of depositions taken
o Number of occasions qualified by court to give expert testimony
o Number of years worked with the legal industry as an expert
o Services offered (e.g., consulting, testing, reports, site
inspections, etc.)
o Hourly rate
No other expert witness database provides all of this information.
And outside the JurisPro Web site, the information is available
through the LexisNexis services exclusively.
How to Gain Access to the JurisPro Expert Witness Directory at
www.lexis.com
The JurisPro Expert Witness Directory can be found in several
locations at www.lexis.com. First, the directory is accessible as an
individual source at lexis.com® via one of three pathways:
Legal tab > Area of Law – By Topic > Insurance > Legal Reference
Materials
Legal tab > Area of Law – By Topic > Litigation > Legal Reference
Materials
Public Records tab > Public Records > Jury Verdicts & Experts >
Expert Witness Directories
The directory is also accessible from the Litigation Research Tasks
page. For instance, you can find it as one of the available sources
to research at the Federal Litigation Research Tasks page. Just
select the Expert Investigation link on the right side (under the
“Investigation” heading) and then use either the “Investigation” or
“Find an Expert Witness” task boxes.
The JurisPro Expert Witness Directory is
also included in the
“Combined Expert Directories” group source. This group source is
also a searchable option in the Expert Search of LexisNexis®
Analyzer. You can access LexisNexis Analyzer from the Litigation
Research Tasks page, or from the Legal Tab at www.lexis.com.

THRIFTY SEARCHER . . . USCS Practitioner's
