Highlights from the MAALL Annual Meeting

Several of our USD Law Library staff members recently attended the Annual Meeting of the Mid-America Association of Law Libraries (MAALL) in St. Louis, Missouri. USD Law Library Director Darla Jackson gave a presentation on recent initiatives prohibiting the application of foreign and international law by state courts (anti-sharia laws). Assistant Director Marsha Stacey and Acquisitions Librarian Gordana Filipovic were also attendees. The meeting provided opportunities to connect with other law librarians, learn about new trends in law libraries, and explore the sights of St. Louis. Highlights of the conference included roundtables on eBooks and Institutional Repositories, programs on new presentation software platforms such as Xtranormal and on methods and principles of instructional design, a reception at the Old Courthouse in downtown St. Louis, and a visit to the Saint Louis Art Museum.
