Cincinnati’s Ronald McDonald House keeps families close to each other and the medical care

they need, when they need it most. We surround families with hope and support and bring joy and a sense of normalcy to children as they heal. Their House cares for 78 families every night, including parents, children receiving outpatient treatment, siblings and other family members.

By easing the financial and emotional burdens of caregivers and by taking care of important practical needs, their House allows parents to focus entirely on caring for their children.

One of the amenities that Ronald McDonald House offers to the families that stay in their facility is access to a library. This library houses adult and children fiction and non-fiction titles. Their library depends solely on new donations to fill their shelves. Please consider bringing one

Mini-Conference for New ORALLians: Navigating the ORALL Conference

An essential opportunity for first-time conference attendees and new(ish) law librarians to

learn from the grizzled sea dogs who make up ORALL’s leadership.

The program will start with a brief (under 10 minutes) presentation covering best tips for new conference attendees. This will be followed by a chance for the new attendees to mingle with the more experienced ORALL board members while playing a bingo game filled with characteristics of the attending members. This will be a way for new members to get to know experienced members and talk to them about how to get involved in ORALL. The first person to complete their bingo board will receive a light-hearted award. After this portion of the program, the new members will participate in networking with each

other by interviewing each other for the ORALL newsletter. This will give the new members a

chance to get to know a conference buddy and also give Paul Venard something nice to publish

about the new members.

Speakers/sea dogs/experienced ORALLians:

Ingrid Matson, The Ohio State University, Moritz Law Library

Beau Steenken, University of Kentucky Law Library

Rick Goheen, LaValley Law Library, University of Toledo

Program 1: The Duty of Technology Competence in the Algorithmic Society While law has generally been slow to adapt to technological change, the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct amended the Duty of Competence language to include a Duty of Technology Competence. This duty requires lawyers to keep abreast of “changes in the law and its practice, including the benefits and risks associated with relevant technology.” A majority of states have now adopted this new Duty of Technology Competence, but there is little guidance on its current reach. The guidance documents mainly discuss the duty in terms of eDiscovery, electronic storage, social media, and the cloud. As society moves beyond the Information Age to the Algorithmic Society, this duty should extend to the competent use of artificial intelligence and algorithms in law. As such, it behooves the legal academy, particularly law librarians, to prepare lawyers for ethical practice in this brave new world. Speaker: Jamie Baker, Interim Director and Associate Librarian of Law, Texas Tech University

Program 2A: Comparing Local Laws in ORALL States Municipal and Local laws are an important part of the governing laws in the United States. Municipal legal research can be difficult, however, because many municipals laws are not included in Lexis or Westlaw, with all of their advance search capacities. In this session, we will focus on what’s unique about municipal and local law research in the 3 ORALL states (Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana) and provide a brief overview of the structure of municipalities, townships, counties, etc. in each state and how municipal laws interact with state and federal law. Speakers:

Ashley Ahlbrand, Assistant Directory for Public Services, Indiana University Maurer School of

Law

Sara Sampson, Assistant Dean for Information Services & Communications, Law Library

Director, and Senior Lecturer, The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law

Beau Steenken, Instructional Services Librarian, University of Kentucky Law Library

Program 2B: It’s A Tall Order: Promoting Mental Health in the Legal Community


According to a 2017 report by the National Task Force on Lawyer Well-Being, lawyers struggle with alarming levels of depression, anxiety, and stress, and between 21%-36% qualify as problem drinkers. The same report cites a 2016 study of law student well-being which found that of the responding law students, 17% experienced depression, 14% experienced severe anxiety, 43% reported binge drinking in the last two weeks, and 6% reported suicidal thoughts in the last year. The American Bar Association and others in the legal community are working to overcome the stigma of mental health problems so that lawyers, judges and law students can get the help they need. This program will offer an open discussion and learning opportunity on mental health promotion. After this session, participants will:

Understand the extent of the mental health crisis in the legal community

Become familiar with the latest reports on the topic, including statistics on depression,

anxiety, stress, substance abuse, and suicide

Learn ways to overcome the stigma associated with mental health issues

Take back ideas to their workplaces on how their libraries can actively promote mental

health and well-being

Speakers:

Maggie Kiel-Morse, Cleveland-Marshall College of Law Library

Amy Burchfield, Cleveland-Marshall College of Law Library

Program 3A: Binding Down the Collection Where is the library binding industry today compared to about 20 years ago, 75 years ago? What does the future of library binding look like? Our speakers will discuss the time line of library binding, significant changes over the years (methods, material, embossing), the services of a library binder (journal binding, book repair and rebinding, print and bind, hardcover binding (one book at a time), and library binders services (for libraries, schools, businesses and individuals). This program will also include a description of stages in the binding process, some history of the Library Binding Council (LBC) and the LBI Standard for Library Binding, and what it means to be a “Certified Library Binder.” The presentation will conclude with a discussion of print vs. digital, and time for questions.

Fairfield, President & CEO HF Group, LLC, Chesterland, Ohio Program 3B: Ohio Legal Help: One Stop Legal Information Platform to Help Ohioans Navigate the Legal System This session gives an overview of how the Ohio Legal Help (OLH) Website will provide Ohioans legal information and interactive self-help tools to help them navigate the legal system and resolve simple legal problems in core high-need legal areas.

Ohioans often feel as if the odds are stacked against them in the legal system: OLH will help

right the ship and even the odds. At its launch, OLH will cover housing law, family law,

consumer law, and income maintenance; and will also connect Ohioans to the “best” resource

based on the individual’s situation, including community based social services, legal aid, and

local lawyer referral services.

Program 4A: Embrace the Suck Life isn’t easy and sometimes it just plain sucks! You may have heard about grit, changing your mindset, and emotional labor. Embrace the suck encompasses all of these. This program will define what it means to "embrace the suck," look at the roles grit and mindset play in embracing the suck, identify the causes of emotional labor and the best ways to cope with it, and how you can use these techniques to navigate our information profession during challenging times. Librarians and staff of all types from all different environments will benefit from embracing the suck! Speaker: Susan Boland, Associate Director of Public & Research Services, University of Cincinnati


Program 4B: Navigating the Stacks of Tax Law Research on the Internet The format of the program will consist of Susanna Marlowe making a PowerPoint presentation about researching Federal and Ohio tax laws, with time at the end for discussion and questions. The presentation will be based on Susanna Marlowe’s Tax Law Research LibGuide available at https://fclawlib.libguides.com/taxlawresearch and her Continuing Legal Education program which she presented as part of the Franklin County Law Library’s Brown Bag Seminar Series on March 7, 2018. Program attendees will come away from the presentation with an understanding of the process of tax law research and a list of resources to use to answer the reference questions of students, professors, attorneys and the general public. Speaker: Susanna Marlowe, Reference Librarian, Franklin County Law Library Program 5A: Tall Stacks of Digital Stacks: Navigating and Curating Internet Legal Information

for Your Community Users (Poster/Roundtable)

There is a vast amount of law and law-related information uploaded daily to the Internet. Yet, discovering and accessing this information can be particularly challenging for individuals who are unfamiliar with the legislative, judicial, and administrative systems as well as the plethora of Internet tools and sites. This interactive presentation/poster will illustrate how digital tools can be used to navigate and curate legal information to facilitate more meaningful access by a community of users. Examples will highlight how blogs, alert services, and others can help navigate, identify, contextualize, and share the most relevant information from Internet-based legal, government and non-government sources. Speaker: Michael Samson, Arthur Neef Law Library, Wayne State University Program 5B: Navigating Through the Past: Designing a Display for an Anniversary Event (Poster/Roundtable) It’s your University’s sesquicentennial year. Departments and schools across your campus are celebrating with signature events. The library system is planning events, displays and tours. Each library will be part of this planning with a display or event reflecting its heritage. Arthur Neef Law Library: Celebrating Research, Scholarship and Community is the culmination of the law library sesquicentennial planning. Jan Bissett, Marlene Coir, and Kathryn Polgar researched, compiled and selected significant dates and images in the law school and law library histories, as well as library related laws for the celebratory display. What best reflects your library’s story? How do you select and curate materials for such a

https://fclawlib.libguides.com/taxlawresearch


display? Organize and research? Our poster guides viewers through the process, highlighting considerations, potential traps and joyful discoveries along the way. Note: Designing a Display for an Anniversary Event poster proposal was accepted and will be presented at the 2018 AALL Poster Sessions. We’re curious about how others may approach this process. How many know the actual history of their library? We’d like the opportunity to interact with ORALL members about this topic. Presentation to be based on the AALL poster. Speakers: Jan Bissett, Reference & Faculty Liaison Services Librarian, Arthur Neef Law Library, Wayne State University Kathryn Polgar, Collection Development Librarian, Arthur Neef Law Library, Wayne State University

Program 6A: Finding North with a Broken Compass: Dealing with Legal Misinformation at the Reference Desk

Researchers sometimes make requests based on dubious legal theories, for instance, avoiding taxes by claiming to be a sovereign citizen or claiming a property interest in specific lottery numbers. How should librarians handle research requests based on dubious legal grounds? This presentation will discuss how to recognize requests based on legal misinformation and how best to serve researchers making these requests. Speakers: Benjamin Keele, Research and Instructional Librarian & Lecturer in Law, Indiana University Law Library Paul Gatz, Reference Librarian, The Ohio State University Erin Waltz, Public Services Manager, Ohio Supreme Court Library Program 6B: Training the Trainer: How to make training fun again for librarians and staff

We can often become so busy with our day to day duties that training and self-improvement

can fall to the wayside. This presentation will detail what the Case Western Reserve University

did to help encourage Librarians and Staff to get excited about learning again. Some things that

will be discussed are:

● Training committee

● Ted Talks

● Google Site Training Portal

● Training Calendar

● Self-Directed trainings

● 5-minute trainers at the end of bi-weekly staff meetings

Speakers and Planners:

Megan Allen, Case Western Reserve University Law Library

Jeannette Mazur, Case Western Reserve University Law Library


Program 7A: Gamification in Legal Research Instruction

Learning legal research can be a stressful and frustrating experience for law students, who

often have limited class time to become proficient in legal research skills. Adding gamelike

elements, or gamification, to classroom settings has been shown to reduce students’ fear of

failure and encourage teamwork. Using gamification in legal research instruction can help

students overcome their research anxiety and focus on learning the skills they need to be

successful in practice.

Speaker:

Shannon Kemen, Reference Librarian, University of Cincinnati

Program 7B: Tall Stacks, Tall Order: Making Law Faculty Scholarship Discoverable

to the Outside World

Almost by definition, law professors are continuously engaged in research, scholarship, public

commentary, clinical service, and other professional activities that give back to their respective

communities. The challenge to every law school is how to make the intellectual work of its

faculty as visible and accessible as possible to the “outside world” in the most impactful way.

They often reach out to their libraries for assistance with leveraging technologies to develop

innovative and effective solutions. Four panelists from law schools in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana,

and Kentucky share their experiences and their strategies for promoting law faculty scholarship

in their respective institutions.
