Thanks to your contributions, volunteers created the first-ever inventory of legal materials at the state, county and municipal levels Volunteers added more than 7,000 titles The Federal Inventory launched in December 2010, and we are working with AALL members, the Law Library of Congress and NCAI on how to proceed on a Tribal Inventory

More than 350 volunteers in all 50 states and DC contributed to the state inventories This groundbreaking project would not have been possible without your contributions! Thank you!

More states making digital materials “official” Several states reported restrictions on privacy and commercial use New law in Oklahoma (as reported by Lisa Bowles and Jennifer Gerrish): ◦ All Oklahoma public bodies are to make available on their website, by January 1, 2011, the administrative rules that the public body uses to operate, any proposed rules submitted by the public body, any statutes “effecting the public body and its operations”, and any other useful statutes. Agencies and other public bodies are slowly complying.

In December 2010, AALL kicked off the Federal Inventory of Legal Materials at the Law Library of Congress Emily Carr is coordinating Volunteers from all three branches of government are contributing – but we still need more help!

When complete, the Federal Inventory will include: Legal research materials Information authored or created by agencies Resources that are publicly accessible
