At our recent fall meeting, Mary Jenkins of the Hamilton County Law Library gave a presentation on the Uniform Electronic Legal Material Act (UELMA), and at the business meeting we discussed the possibility of adopting a resolution in support of it. The Draft GODORT UELMA resolution was adapted from one approved by the Ohio Regional Association of Law Libraries (ORALL), and we can take it up at our spring meeting. (For background information, see Mary Jenkins’ presentation.)

The Fall 2014 issue of Docs Prescriptions is now available. Issue 81 includes information about the Fall meeting at Denison University and some very interesting articles by several of our members.

Enjoy!

NOTE: I somehow deleted Kirstin’s update about the State Library from the original issue 81, so I’ve added it back in to the revised issue. Also, I added a map of Denison University to the end of the Issue.
