Librarian David Gay Attends His First International Association of Law Libraries (IALL) Conference
Traveling to Yale Law School for the IALL meeting
this fall, David traveled through New York to New Haven. New York can be
visited economically! Pictured is the Vanderbuilt YMCA in midtown Manhattan,
cost including tax: $69.00 per night!
The 21st Annual Course on International Law Librarianship
by the International Association of Law Libraries in New Haven, CT., was hosted
by Yale University Law School. In addition to excellent programming and
good opportunities for socializing and the resulting contacts, there were
day long tours to the Harvard Law School Library in Cambridge, MA., and to
the United Nations in New York City. A visit was also made to the Litchfield
History Museum in Litchfield, CT., reputed by many to be the site of the
first law school in the United States. The IALL conference's nearness to
New York also provided the opportunity to visit libraries in the city including
the New York University School of Law Library and visit with colleagues such
as Jeanne Rehberg, Foreign and International Law Librarian, and University
of Tulsa graduate.
