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.
