Ryan Overdorf, Chair of the CS-SIS Adaptive Technologies Committee, has recently added some useful new content to the wiki. The Adaptive Technology / Assistive Technology section offers an introduction to this technology which removes barriers and increases accessibility to desired resources.

According to the wiki, “These pages currently focus on two areas likely to be of interest to our core readership of law librarians: popular assistive technology products and Web accessibility. More content on the current areas and other areas may be added as time permits and reader interest indicates a need.”

Law Libraries Using LibGuides

LibGuides is a “web 2.0 library knowledge sharing system” offered by the company Springshare. LibGuides is growing in popularity among all kinds of libraries, including law libraries as a platform for creating web-based research guides.

Elizabeth Farrell of Florida State University College of Law has recently added a list of law libraries currently using LibGuides to the CS wiki.

Following the list is a selected list of resources that may be helpful for law libraries currently using LibGuides or considering its purchase.

New CS-SIS Wiki and Law Library Blogs list

Bonnie Shucha — Fri, 15 May 2009 18:21:33 +0000

CS-SIS has recently created a wiki for members to share ideas and information such as use of technology in law libraries, reviews of various tools & gadgets, resources used or produced by law librarians, and more.

You’ll also find information on CS-SIS itself, including a calendar of events and deadlines, CS activities at the AALL Annual Meeting, and information about the leadership positions within CS-SIS.

I’d like to particularly point out the Law Library Blogs list. Michael Robak has done a wonderful job of updating this list which I formerly maintained at the University of Wisconsin Law Library website.

Note that the wiki is still a work in progress. You’ll find that some areas are more complete than others. CS-SIS members are invited to contribute to the wiki. Simply request an invitation at http://aallcssis.pbworks.com/request_access.php. Please enter your name in the optional message box.

A big thanks to Katie Jones and Sharon Nelson for their work in setting up the wiki.
