The State Solicitors Office released a communication on Monday 18 May 2015 about the future of the Law Library at the Supreme Court of Western Australia, please see the attached notice.

Consultation seminars and workshops have been organised to aid in addressing any questions from the profession.

These seminars will be held on Monday, 25 May from 1.00-2.00pm, Monday, 25 May from 4.30-5.30pm, and Friday, 29 May from 9.00-10.00am at the Law Society, Level 5, 160 St Georges Terrace, Perth.

I will be attending one of these sessions, and intend to seek clarification regarding access to the Law Library collection for librarians and library staff; and how inter-library loans and requests will be handled.

I would encourage everyone to either attend or provide feedback.  If you are unable to attend and would like me to broach a question on your behalf, please feel free to contact me on melverd@jacmac.com.au
