Board Activities - Sets the Direction
The Law Library Board of Trustees representing the bench, bar, and citizens of
Sacramento County, establishes the library’s policies and budget. Board meetings are
open to the public. Meetings are scheduled for the 3rd Wednesday of the month from
5pm -6pm in the Law Library’s second floor boardroom.
The Board’s mix of expertise, experience and leadership keeps the library in sync with
community needs and provides advice and counsel to the law library director. In
addition to County Council Robert Ryan, Board President Attorney Austin Cooper,
Judicial members Renard Shepard, Loren McMaster, David De Alba, Shellyanne
Chang, and Stacey Boulware-Eurie, the Sacramento County Bar Association and the
Capitol City Trial Lawyer’s Association each appoint non-voting advisors.
Members of the Board of Trustees continue to lead the way as participants of the
American Association of Law Libraries (AALL) and the Conference of California
County Law Library Trustees and Librarians (CCCLLTL). Both organizations lend
opportunities for trustees to learn and share their expertise with the wider law library
community. Judge Shepard, Judge McMaster, Judge De Alba and W. Austin Cooper
attended the Annual Conference of California County Law Library Trustees and
Librarians held in Anaheim in conjunction with the California Judges Association
Annual Meeting.
As associate members of AALL, the Board keeps up on activities of the association.
W. Austin Cooper, Judge Shepard, and Judge De Alba attended the AALL Annual
Meeting held in New Orleans in July 2007. Outstanding substantive law programs and
sessions on library management issues were offered at this annual meeting.
Finance
A share of the civil filing fee is the primary source of funding for all California county
law libraries. Each county is responsible for providing sufficient facilities, and can
contribute funds toward law library operations. In addition, libraries can receive
donations and charge for value-added services. There is a moratorium on increasing
civil filing fees and there is presently no mechanism for County law libraries to receive
an increase in funding.
5
The Law Library has a memorandum of understanding with Sacramento County that
the library will pay a portion of the lease for the main law library facility as long as the
Law Library has at least a three-month operating reserve.

Class Fees
Classes
The Sacramento County Public Law Library offers class by far the best variety and
reasonably priced on timely and relevant topics in the greater Sacramento area.
The SCPLL produces a full color booklet-style catalog of the Law Library’s schedule of
classes. Previously the printed curriculum was distributed by postal-mail only. In
2007/2008, the law library’s newly designed website provided an easy way to provide
a more cost-effective PDF version, which can be printed on demand.
Schedule of Classes
Testimonials
At the end of each class participants voluntarily complete, a State Bar of California
approved MCLE Activity Evaluation form. The following is a series of testimonials by
class attendees for fiscal year 2007-2008.

OUTREACH/PUBLIC RELATIONS
The law library is making concerted efforts to increase public awareness of the law
library and its resources and services. In addition to public relations and marketing
efforts directed at the public, the law library has entered into many collaborative
relationships with other organizations committed to serving self-represented litigants
and providing access to justice. Through these relationships, the law library hopes to
expand the number and types of services available to patrons, and to reach nonlibrary users through appropriate referrals stemming from other agency staff’s
awareness of the law library’s resources and services.
National Library Week
“Elder-Centric” Classes during National Library Week
The Law Library conducted elder-centric classes and events during National Library
Week, April 13 through April 19, 2008 including:
•

Advocates of senior health care services, members of senior outreach organizations,
attorneys, and interested citizens attended the weeklong series of events.
15
Collaboration/Networking
Collaboration with Sacramento County Superior Court’s Training and
Development Unit
SCPLL has entered into the second year of an exciting new partnership with the
Sacramento County Superior Court’s Training and Development Unit. In order to help
court employees fulfill new Judicial Council-mandated minimum education
requirements effective January 1, 2007, the Training and Development Unit developed
a new curriculum that includes three classes developed and taught by SCPLL staff:
•
“There Oughta Be a Law!” or, “How to Find a Statute,” September 7, 2007 and
January 25, 2008 (Kelly Browne and Mareth Wilson).
•
“I Think one of the Parties’ Names was Johnson . . . .” or, “How to Find a
Case with Little or Nothing to Go On,” November 30, 2007 and March 7, 2008
(Kelly Browne).
•
“Fun with Forms,” or, “What does the Customer Want and Where Can You
Find It,” December 14, 2007 and May 23, 2008 (Mareth Wilson and Kelly
Browne).
Each class had to meet the following “Minimum Education Requirements &
Expectations” criteria approved by the Judicial Council:
1. The learning environment is educationally sound;
2. Participants will receive all of the reference tools and other materials and
resources that are required for learning and applying the content;
16
3. Participants will have an opportunity to practice using or applying new skills
through hypothetical situations as part of the learning experience; and
4. Participants will have the opportunity to interact with knowledgeable experts to
pose questions or clarify understanding.
The hands-on computer classes, which were full with 12 students each, were very
successful. Evaluations included:
“Fun and informative! Your guys’ enthusiasm is so fun to watch!”
“Wish it was longer!”
“Because of this class I will be better able to help the public. Keep up the great work!”
“Excellent job! Very enthusiastic and helpful.”
“This class will enhance my customer service skills and make me a more valuable
liaison between the courts and the public.”
“I am a court reporter, and I will be able to research citations far more efficiently and
effectively.”
“I have learned numerous new resources available to me that I can use as a
courtroom clerk. Mareth and Kelly were awesome! I thoroughly enjoyed the teaching
and training.”
Collaboration with VLSP Civil Self-Help Center and Family Law
Facilitators Office
SCPLL enjoys a mutually beneficial relationship with the Sacramento County Bar
Association’s Volunteer Legal Services Program (VLSP) Civil Self Help Center. Public
Services Librarian Kate Fitz collaborated with the Center’s director, Eric Nakano, to
develop a class called “See You in Court!” which debuted on Law Day, May 1, 2008.
The course, an introduction to the basic structure of the civil court system, how to file
a lawsuit, and how to track your case through the court system, was very well
received. Plans for a second class, to be videotaped and made accessible through our
website, are in the works for September 2008.
The relationship between the Library and the Sacramento County Family Law
Facilitator’s (FLF) Office in the William R. Ridgeway Family Relations Court continued
to evolve during the 2007-2008 fiscal year. Lollie Roberts, the Family Law Facilitator,
gave an “insider’s view” tour of the Courthouse to all Library personnel who staff the
Branch Library in July 2007. Branch Library staff also toured the FLF’s new computer
resource room when it opened in January 2008.
Legal Prescription Pads*
17
There must be clear communication between law libraries and the courts in order to
provide the best service to our common users. Even though the two institutions are
often in close physical proximity to each other, sometimes even located within the
same building, there is often a vast, empty vacuum between them. Upon exiting the
court line, facilitators’ office, or self-help
center, a person has a clear
understanding of the instructions given to
them by court staff. Not surprisingly,
however, when they arrive at the law
library what they think they were told to
ask for is indeed something entirely
different and often does not exist. The
Sacramento County Public Law Library
and the Sacramento County Family Law
Facilitators office lovingly refer to the
physical space between us as the “Sea
of Forgetfulness,” since people often
forget what they were told as they walk
between our respective locations.
In one of our typical bi-monthly meetings,
public services staff brainstormed ways
to alleviate this issue of “forgetfulness.” We were trying to think of solutions that would
take the burden from library and court users and transfer it to the library and court
staffs—making us take more responsibility to ensure communication of the exact
referral or suggestion. During our discussion someone mentioned that we needed
some physical connection between the agencies—something like a pad a doctor
would use, so that boxes could be checked, a “prescription” written out, and a piece of
paper physically given to the person to take away with them. Library assistant Natalie
Head then said “a legal prescription” – thus our Legal Prescription Pads were born!
After collaborating with the courts, we have created a customized Legal Prescription
Pad for different referring agencies, including the Family Law Facilitators office,
located in the Family Relations Courthouse, and the Volunteer Legal Services
Program’s Civil Self-Help Center, located in the Sacramento Superior Court’s
downtown facility. We also have a generic pad that we use for other agency referrals
and for marketing purposes when we give a presentation, or attend a luncheon, etc.
18
Our prescription pads include our logo, hours and location, check boxes for suggested
supplemental materials or books, and most importantly, the words “ask a librarian for
more information on…” with enough free space so that the referrer can write a brief
description of what they are suggesting the user research once they arrive at the law
library. Our customized pads list the referring agency so that we can track who is
using our Legal Prescription Pads, and how often.
The library is currently keeping statistics on how often the prescriptions are used and
what the most often asked questions are. We will use this valuable information to
create Legal Resource Guides, sample pleadings, Ask Now virtual reference scripts,
and other documents as necessary. We are hoping that in collaborating with the courts
and other referring agencies, and through continued use of our “Legal Prescriptions,”
we can turn the “Sea of Forgetfulness” into just a small trickle.

2008 http://www.aallnet.org/sis/sccll/pdfs/news/Winter08.pdf.
The library received 334 prescription pad referrals between their debut June 11 2007
and June 2008. Eighty referrals came from VLSP’s Civil Self Help Center, 253
referrals came from the Family Law Facilitator, and we received one referral from the
Small Business Administration.

Paralegal Programs
19
The Law Library has developed mutually beneficial relationships with several local
paralegal programs. One such relationship is with the University of Northern California
Lorenzo Patino School of Law Paralegal Program. Every semester the program’s
Legal Research class meets at the Law Library for approximately six of its twelve
sessions. The first session includes an orientation class and tour of the Library for the
program’s fifteen to twenty-five students. One session is devoted to LEXIS training in
the Library’s Training Center. The other four sessions are held in the Library so that
the students can use the Library’s resources to complete graded research projects.
Lorenzo Patino School of Law pays the Library for the use of its meeting rooms and
Training Center, and upon completion of their certificates students often become
frequent library users. This fiscal year Public Services Staff held two orientation
classes and tours for Lorenzo Patino paralegal students; one in September 2007
(conducted by Robyn Moltzen) and one in June 2008 (conducted by Kelly Browne).
Another established relationship is with MTI College’s Paralegal Program. Public
Services Librarians gave five orientation classes and tours to MTI College students in
fiscal year 2007-2008. The tours, which were given to approximately fifteen students
at a time, took place in July 2007 (one tour, conducted by Kate Fitz), October 2007
(one tour, conducted by Mareth Wilson), February 2008 (two tours, conducted by Kelly
Browne and Mareth Wilson), and June 2008 (one tour, conducted by Kate Fitz).
Lawyers in the Library
Indigent citizens and economically disadvantaged self-represented litigants in
Sacramento suffer from a lack of access to pro bono legal assistance. The provision of
pro bono services is an established tradition in the legal community; however, time
and staff limitations on locally existing services mean that members of these growing
populations have few resources available to them to help them identify and solve their
legal issue(s). Over the 2007-2008 fiscal year the SCPLL Public Services Team, led
by Mareth Wilson, developed a program to address these unmet needs.
In April 2008 the exceptionally service-oriented public services team launched the
program, called “Lawyers in the Law Library.” The aim of the program is to contribute
to the Sacramento legal community’s effort to help people who cannot afford private
legal services by coordinating and facilitating brief access to advice and referral from
local attorneys serving pro bono. Because the library’s mission is to connect people
with legal information, we view this program as helping to forge another connection
between the private bar and the people who are least likely to find any other
20
opportunity for twenty minutes of professional attention and consideration.
At this early stage of its development, the program runs from 5:30-7:30 p.m. the
second Monday of every month. Each evening’s schedule accommodates four
participants. There are no limits on the type of questions accepted, and no two
questions have been alike, which highlights the potential breadth of impact of such a
service. The attorneys address what they can, and the library has provided them with
a referral sheet to other local legal aid organizations and court-related services, so
that these additional options can be discussed with the participant.
Twelve people have benefited from the service thus far, and the evaluations have
been unanimously positive and full of thanks. We are extremely grateful to Austin
Cooper, the President of the Library’s Board of Trustees, and to Tim Murphy and Mike
Borkowski, long-time valued friends and patrons of the law library, for their gracious
service helping us get this program going. Our thanks also go out to the attorneys who
have already expressed interest in working in the program in the near future.
Attorneys who are interested in helping the law library establish and grow this service
can contact Mareth Wilson, public services librarian, at 874-6449 or
[email protected] to volunteer or to get more information.
We hope this program will benefit the participants and the attorneys who volunteer,
and increase community recognition of SCPLL’s role in providing free access to legal
information for over 100 years.

Off-Site Presentations
Parent Information Exchange
Kelly Browne presented information about the library to the Parent Information
Exchange (http://www.scusd.edu/chess_division/ParentSupport.htm) November 26,
2007. Kelly distributed 50 packets to this group. The presentation went very well and
resulted in several referrals to the library.
Urban Library Council Scholars
Mareth Wilson and Kelly Browne made a presentation on “A Day in the Life of a Law
Librarian” to Sacramento area Urban Library Council Scholars at the Sacramento
Public Library on February 29, 2008. The purpose of the Urban Library Council
program, funded by the Institute for Museum & Library Services, is to encourage the
training of future librarians for urban public libraries. Urban Library Council Scholars
are awarded academic scholarships and internships so that they can become part of a
diverse workforce with multi-cultural connections, broad flexible skill sets, and a deep
understanding of public libraries and local communities. The Sacramento area
Scholars enjoyed the presentation and had many questions. Several expressed
interest in becoming law librarians.
Greater Sacramento Small Business Development Center
Kelly Browne and Coral Henning met with Fred Janson of the Greater Sacramento
Small Business Development Center (SBDC) October 3, 2007. Coral toured the
SBDC on October 17. This connection resulted in the development of a class, “Writing
an Effective Business Plan for Lawyers,” in which SBDC expert business consultants
provided tips and techniques on how to create a strong business plan for a law
practice.
Assemblyman Dave Jones
Mareth Wilson and Kelly Browne visited Assemblyman Dave Jones District Office
September 5, 2007, and spoke with several staff members regarding our services.
The meeting was very positive and resulted in several collaborations.
Sacramento Public Library
22
Mareth Wilson and Kelly Browne presented “An Introduction to Legal Forms and
Pleadings” to fifteen Sacramento County Public Adult Services Librarians at the
Franklin Library in Elk Grove on May 30, 2008. Response to the presentation was
enthusiastic, and Sacramento County Public Library has asked if we could provide
their librarians with regular tours of the Law Library, which will begin in August 2008.
We look forward to strengthening our connections with the Public Library.
Publications
Library staff members contribute articles to a variety of publications, ranging from
professional journals in the law and library fields, to newsletters intended for the
general public. These articles boost the library’s visibility while allowing library staff to
share their expertise by providing information to the general public and other library
and legal professionals.
Coral Henning, the Director of the Sacramento County Public Law Library has a
regular column in the Sacramento Lawyer. The Public Services Librarians write
sidebars to accompany these articles, highlighting interesting websites on the topic at
issue. The articles are archived at the Sacramento Bar Association’s website,

Community Outreach
24
As a public services provider, SCPLL actively participates in community events.
Donations of legal books, vouchers for “free” class registration, and “Self-Help”
materials to community-based organizations, City or County governing boards, and
philanthropic groups are part of SCPLL’s public relations efforts.
Pacific Rim Street Fest
May 2008
In 2008, SCPLL collaborated with the Sacramento Law Foundation to raise funds for
use in the community. One of the Sacramento Law Foundation grant recipients was
25
the Tommy Clinkenbeard Legal Clinic an independent free legal clinic servicing
homeless people. Tommy Clinkenbeard Legal Clinic was honored at SCPLL’s and
SLF’s annual Crab Feed. Tommy Clinkenbeard Legal Clinic manages court-ordered
community service sentences for the homeless to pay fines in lieu of incarceration.
SCPLL’s Law Library Foundation generated funds and awareness for other
community service organizations in 2007-2008.

SERVICES
Support Calculation Program
The Family Law section of the Sacramento County Bar Association and the
27
Sacramento County Public Law Library have collaborated for over 15 years to provide
free of charge child support and spousal support calculations. This program is
administered at our branch library, which is inside the Family Relations Courthouse at
3341 Power Inn Rd.
The Law Library takes the customer’s registration. The Pro Tem Judge will see up to
five people a day. After the appointment each customer receives a print out with a
child and/or spousal support calculation based on the information that the customer
provides. This program is a time and cost savings tool for people to use the
information provided to determine if they should petition the court for a modification.
This unique collaboration has not been duplicated in other counties. Between July 1,
2007 and June 30, 2008, eighty-five people utilized this free service.
California Council of County Law Librarians Virtual
Reference Service
CCCLL has supported California’s “Ask Now” virtual reference service (a project of the
Metropolitan Cooperative Library System, supported by Federal LSTA funding and
administered by the California State Library) since it began in 2002. The CCCLL
libraries are among 500 public libraries in California participating in the service.
SCPLL has been involved with AskNow since its inception. Shirley Hart David,
SCPLL’s former director, was instrumental in convincing CCCLL to participate in the
AskNow project. Shirley was the CCCLL AskNow Coordinator from 2002 until she
retired in 2004.
CCCLL’s participation in the “Ask Now” service has greatly increased the visibility of
county law libraries, largely due to the prominent “Ask the Law Librarian” links on
every page of the California Courts Self-Help Center website
(http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp/). When these links appeared in 2003, live chat
questions jumped from under five questions a day to an average of five questions an
hour. The pace has not slowed down. This year, CCCLL librarians answered over
17,700 questions.
The project has seen several changes since 2002. The “24/7 Reference Cooperative,” which provided the original software, was acquired by OCLC in August
2004. OCLC introduced its new “QuestionPoint” software in March 2006. Technical
adjustments interrupted service during much of April, May, June and July 2006. OCLC
also merged California’s 500 “AskNow” libraries into a group of about 1000
28
“QuestionPoint” libraries throughout the U.S. In July 2006, LSTA funding expired for a
statewide coordinator for the AskNow project. It was believed that LSTA funding for
the software would expire July 1, 2007. Librarian interest in the project began to wane
due to the technical problems, loss of a statewide coordinator, and the impending
demise of the project.
Despite these problems, SCPLL Public Services Librarians saw the end of AskNow
funding as an opportunity for CCCLL to establish its own virtual reference service and
to improve upon the level of service AskNow provided. Kelly Browne, Kate Fitz, and
Mary Pinard formed a Task Force with the charge of investigating possible funding
and software options for such a service. A new LSTA grant was awarded in July 2007,
funding the software for an additional two years.
The task force’s efforts renewed interest in the virtual reference service, and several
new libraries volunteered to answer email and chat questions. Ten libraries now staff
the chat service, providing live reference assistance 8am-4pm most days, with
additional evening coverage on Mondays and Tuesdays. Thirteen libraries now
answer questions sent to the law librarians via email. The expanded hours of chat and
increased participation in email reference allows CCCLL libraries to provide better
virtual reference service to patrons.
In September 2007, Mary Pinard succeeded Kelly Browne co-coordinator of Ask
Now’s Ask a Law Librarian service. Soon thereafter, participating librarians were
surveyed to determine their training needs, their interest in receiving additional scripts
and statistical reports, and their desire to receive customer exit surveys. Based on
the survey responses, the project coordinators have begun sending quarterly statistics
reports to participating libraries, have updated the scripts within the chat software, and
have enabled the customer exit surveys.
Between July 1, 2007 and June 30, 2008, CCCLL librarians have assisted 17709
patrons. CCCLL librarians held 11555 live chats and sent 6154 email responses.
SCPLL librarians chatted with 1467 patrons (13% of the total) and sent 1824 email
responses (30% of the total). Patron satisfaction with the service is very high, with
78.5% of responding patrons rating the library staff positively, and 92.3% of
responding patrons responding that they would use the service again.
Email Reference Service
29
SCPLL provides an email reference service. We respond to reference requests within
24 hours of receipt, excluding weekends and holidays In fiscal year 2007-2008 we
answered 387 questions. Fifty of those were repeat or clarifying emails, so we served
approximately 337 unique patrons
Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER)
In November 2007, SCPLL was one of 16 libraries selected to participate in a joint
pilot project of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts and the
Government Printing Office to offer free PACER access. The pilot project, which will
last up to two years, is part of the Federal Judiciary's continuing effort to expand public
access to court records. PACER allows users to obtain case and docket information
from Federal Appellate, District and Bankruptcy courts, and the U.S. Party/Case Index
via the Internet. Information such as listings of parties and participants in cases,
chronologies case events, judgments and Appellate court opinions, and imaged
copies of documents are accessible using this service. PACER normally carries an
eight-cents-per-page access fee, which is waived for all users accessing PACER at
libraries participating in the pilot project. Since November, PACER was used 126 times
at SCPLL, 48 of which were first-time users.
Meeting Room Rentals
In fiscal year 2006-2007 we rented our meeting rooms approximately 32 times,
earning $2,115. In fiscal year 2007-2008 we rented our meeting rooms approximately
43 times, earning $2,550. These numbers represent a 26% increase in meeting room
rentals for the year, with an increase of 17% more fees collected.
Resource Guides
During the 2007-2008 fiscal year the Public Services Librarians created or
substantially revised 15 resource guides. During the fiscal year patrons took 3275 of
these guides from the information kiosk in the library. This number does not include
the guides that were distributed at classes, orientation tours, and off-site presentations.
The guides are also one of the most popular items available on our website. Our
resource guides on Deeds, Family Law, Mechanics’ Liens, Landlord-Tenant Law, and
Creating Pleadings are consistently ranked in SCPLL’s most-frequently accessed “Top
20” website pages. The Criminal Law Resource Guide and the Relief from Defaults
Resource Guide are new additions to the top twenty list for this fiscal year. Guides

developed or revised this fiscal year include:

Websites to Bookmark
Many resources, such as public databases or administrative opinions, are available
only through the Internet. While these resources can be, and often are, included in our
online catalog, patrons browsing the stacks for information on a particular topic will not
be able to find them. Kate Fitz developed a template for creating and printing SCPLLbranded bookmarks that list topically relevant websites. These bookmarks are
displayed in Bookmark holders affixed to library shelves alongside books on the same
topic. Patrons may take the bookmarks with them for future reference. As of the end of
the 2007-2008 fiscal year, 320 “Web Sites to Bookmark” have been distributed:
Administrative Decisions on Web

The “What’s Up?” Project
Law library patrons are generally most familiar with the first floor California law
sections. Some of these patrons are unaware that there is a second floor of the library,
and that the upstairs General Collection contains vital, core legal research materials
and litigation manuals with potential application to questions they have. To alert
patrons to second floor, comprehensive sources such as Bender’s Forms of Discovery,
Causes of Action, West’s Legal Forms, and specialized texts like Model Interrogatories
and the Rutter Group’s new California Bankruptcy Practice manual, Mareth Wilson
initiated the “What’s Up?” project. Unobtrusive, movable plastic label holders clip onto
the front edge of first floor shelves that house materials on subjects that patrons
frequently consult. The labels refer patrons to the second floor sources on those
subjects. This is one more way that the librarians can facilitate patrons'
understanding of the law library's collections.
Traffic Motion Form
Since the library began tracking use of the Traffic Motion Form at the Branch location
inside the Family Relations Courthouse in October 2007, library staff has individually
handed out 2821 forms to patrons throughout the fiscal year. The majority of these
patrons have been directly referred to the library by the traffic court at Carol Miller
Justice Center. This number does not include those who received the form at the Main
location or those who accessed the Traffic Motion Form from the law library website.
COMMUNICATION
Website
The law library’s website is often a patron’s first exposure to the library. All of the law
32
library’s advertisements, handouts, and other marketing tools direct patrons to the
website for additional information. The website is a virtual branch of the law library.
Website Enhancements
SCPLL continued to improve e-commerce capabilities by offering classes on our
website that can be purchased and downloaded by users for viewing at the users
convenience. The Web team coordinated with the Training Coordinator, PayPal, and
GoDaddy on this effort. This feature is prominently displayed on the SCPLL home
page. Here is a direct link to the video catalog http://www.saclaw.org/videoList.aspx .
A “News & Events” section was created to be a permanent part of the library’s home
page. The library uses this valuable section to distribute information, market upcoming
library events, and to alert patrons of holiday closures, and current awareness items.
Announcements included: the library’s participation in the Pacific Rim Festival, Fix-I5
construction information, Holiday Closures, and the Everyday Law articles that appear
in the Sacramento Superior Court newsletters http://www.saclaw.org/index.aspx .
In November 2007, the Web team updated the online resources page from a threecolumn format to a two-column format therefore making it easier for patrons to read.
This was an overall visual improvement of the section
http://www.saclaw.org/pages/online-resources.aspx .
Effective January 1, 2008, the California certificate of acknowledgment by notaries
was changed, and therefore many forms listed on the SCPLL website needed to be
updated. The Webteam updated all of the forms affected by this change
http://www.saclaw.org/pages/forms-page.aspx .
New Website Feature
SCPLL updated the website to market the library’s Interlibrary Loan capabilities
http://www.saclaw.org/pages/interlibrary-loan.aspx. This included creating an online,
interactive, Interlibrary Loan entry form to be used by SCPLL staff when processing a
“Borrowing” request http://www.saclaw.org/illLendToOtherLibraries.aspx and an online,
interactive Interlibrary Loan entry form to be used by SCPLL staff and outside libraries
when processing a “Lending” request
http://www.saclaw.org/illBorrowFromOtherLibraries.aspx .
The ILL entry forms enable the required information to be gathered in consistent
manner, provide outside users an easy and convenient method to request materials,
33
and will help Public Services gather useful statistics regarding the ILL service. This
new service debuted in its final form in May 2008.
Webteam Procedures
SCPLL’s newly updated website and use of the web management system SIteDrive
prompted a need for a complete revision of internal procedures for the Webteam. New
procedures developed and written included: How To Add A Page, How To Update A
Page, How To Delete A Page, New Titles Procedure, and How To Edit and Update
HomePage Items. The Webteam will continue to develop procedures in the coming
fiscal year.
Donation Efforts through our Website
Last year with the re-design of the website a page was created with information about
donating to the library through the Nolo Press Matching Funds Program.
http://www.saclaw.lib.ca.us/pages/library-donations.aspx . A generous patron, Robert
Cloud, graciously donated $40.00 and with the Nolo Match the law library was able to
spend $80.00 at Nolo Press for the benefit of patrons.
Webteam Goals for the Coming Year
E-Commerce Capabilities
SCPLL will continue to develop e-commerce capabilities for the website. For example
to encourage further donations, SCPLL began investigating adding a new feature to
the existing website that would allow patrons to provide donations to the library using
a credit card. Issues involved include creating an interactive form, coordinating with
PayPal, and creating an automatically generated thank you letter to the patron by
email. Majority of the work for this project was completed fiscal year 2007-2008;
however, the project will not be finalized until fiscal year 2008-2009.
Another example of developing e-commerce capabilities includes the goal of
developing podcasts. At completion of this goal, patrons will be able to purchase and
view class podcasts. Public Services staff could also use the podcast technology to
present informational podcasts on a variety of legal topics.
Intranet Re-Design
Currently the existing intranet is useful, but not utilized by all staff. This fiscal year, an
Intranet Subteam was created to lead the Intranet re-design project. The team will
survey staff about current aspects of the Intranet that are utilized, which aspects do
not work well, and which aspects they would like to see changed. The Intranet
34
Subteam will also study past-use statistics in creating the new Intranet interface and
overall design scheme. This project will be completed in fiscal year 2008-2009.

The Legal Research Guides, particularly the guides that cover the topics Deeds,
Family Law, Landlord-Tenant, and Mechanics Liens, continue to be popular, appearing
in the “Top Twenty” web pages accessed in fiscal year 2007-2008. The Criminal Law
Research Guide and Relief from Defaults Research Guide are new additions to the
top twenty list for this fiscal year.
The Contact Us page continues to move up the list. This is evident in the growing
number of email reference questions that the library receives through the use of the
contact us form.
Also notable is the appearance of a form that we uploaded onto our website in the Top
Twenty list the Claim of Mechanics Lien. The Forms page continues to increase in
popularity and more forms will be added in the next fiscal year.

Display Team
The Law Library has three display cases on the first floor. Each month or two eyecatching new displays are created using images, materials from the collection, and
“props” the Display team creates or brings in from home. Led by Natalie Head, the
SCPLL Display Team created over thirteen Library Displays on a variety of subjects in
the 2007-2008 fiscal year, including:
The California State Bar Association’s “Get the Legal Facts of Life” brochure series.
Election Law.
Foreclosure.
How to Read Citations.
I-5 Construction.
Journalism issues.
Law Day.
National Library Week.
New Books at SCPLL.
New Class schedules.
New Laws in 2008.
Pool Safety.
Restaurant Law.
Patrons find the displays informative and entertaining. Staff receive positive feedback
on these displays.
IN-HOUSE SUPPORT SERVICES
The Support Services Team performs assignments in the three primary areas: 1)
Information Technology (IT) operations supporting the Main and Branch Library
50
computer, software and Local Area Network (LAN) functions, 2) Technical Services
(TS) responsibilities encompassing the ordering, receiving, claiming, cataloging,
classifying, processing, weeding and maintaining the Library’s various print, audiovisual, online and digital collections, and 3) managing most law library services for the
Sacramento Superior Court (Court) via a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
The Support Services Team Leader, Jean Willis, directly supervises two IT Systems
Administrators (Nick Racic and Ayalew Getahun); two full-time personnel in TS
(Michael Daubenmire, Cataloger and Becca Pascoe, Library Assistant); and two full
time staff providing library services for the Court (Ruth Gervais, Court Services
Librarian and Neil Murphy, Law Library Clerk). The Team Leader coordinates the
efforts of a variety of Administrative Team, Public Services Team and temporary staff
who routinely contribute to TS and Court Library collection maintenance procedures.
Information Technology Activities
Over the past fiscal year the IT Team has successfully implemented the following
major projects:
•
•
•
•
Ongoing upgrading of approximately 5 staff PCs per year
Updating and replacing several routers and switches on Main and Branch LANs
Upgrading the Library’s Email spam filtering system
Upgrading the Library’s tape backup system, which backs up all services on the
Library’s four LANs
•
•
•
•
Documenting all hardware, software and maintenance contracts
Documenting and updating many technology procedures
Hiring and training a new Systems Administrator
Significant development and assistance with implementation of extended ecommerce on the Library’s website by offering MCLE videos for sale
The Sacramento County Public Law Library (SCPLL) is an independent local district
government, and as such, the Library employs its own IT staff. Our IT systems
analysts perform customary IT duties, as well as managing in-house Help Desk duties.
SCPLL utilizes an automated trouble ticket software system called FootPrints,
whereby library staff can submit online service requests for assistance with a variety of
issues and problems that crop up with IT equipment and software.
IT staff also support SCPLL’s main integrated library system (ILS) database, Horizon.
51
Horizon is mission-critical. The hub of Horizon is our online catalog, which is
integrated with a variety of modules enabling staff to order, receive and catalog new
materials, pay for materials, circulate materials to patrons, and provide customers with
the capability to search our WebPac either on the Internet at our website,
http://www.saclaw.org or via PCs in the Library. One of SCPLL’s systems analysts
performs the role of System Administrator for Horizon and writes SQL scripts for staff
extract needed reports from the Horizon. Staff can also submit Help Desk tickets for
Horizon-related issues in the FootPrints trouble ticket system.

Technical Support Activities
TS staff play a critical role in supporting and ensuring the Library’s usefulness to our
patrons by ordering, receiving, cataloging, maintaining and updating the Law Library’s
print and other collections.
This year the TS Team reorganized assignments to streamline work-flow in response
to increasing library work demands from the Court resulting in reduced staff time
available to handle duties for the Library. The Assistant Director takes a lead role in
purchasing and processing invoices for payment within the Acquisitions module of the
Horizon system, although both the Cataloger and Library Assistant assist with aspects
of this process. TS staff ensure that new titles are ordered and received in a timely
fashion, as well as claiming them when they do not arrive, and then ensure that
52
invoices are processed for payment correctly and quickly.

TS staff acquire new materials in response to requests from the Collection

reasons, there is not a one-to-one correspondence between Purchase Requests and
the creation of new Purchase Orders in the Horizon system. However, it is interesting
to note statistics for the past several years:

The statistics indicate a trend towards a similar annual workload in terms of acquiring
new materials, although our Serials statistics, below, indicate a growing number of
print services that must be checked into Horizon and manually updated every year. TS
staff have been streamlining the purchase order creation process when ordering new
titles. This has resulted in creating less purchase orders, although the number of new
titles ordered and cataloged annually has remained fairly static over the past five
years or so. This is one example of streamlining tasks to increase efficiency.
TS staff ensure that the many ongoing serials updates are received and paid for
accurately, which requires significant time interacting and negotiating with vendors.
These tasks are performed both for the Law Library, and, under contract, for the Court.
As the law constantly changes, legal publishers update their works to ensure access
to the most current information. TS staff are responsible for entering all new updates
into our Horizon ILS Serials Module both to ensure that we have received everything
in order, as well as to claim missing materials. Serials are received, tracked and
updated separately for the Library’s Main and Branch locations and for the Court:

Serials are tracked differently for the Court in Horizon than for the Library locations.
Library statistics reflect the total number of serial copies held by the Library. Court
statistics reflect only the number of serial titles owned by the Court. In most cases,
the Court owns many copies of each of the serial titles. The number of copies more
accurately represents the amount of work involved to maintain the collections.
Over the past five years the Court has increased the numbers of serials held in their
over 82 collections. This has resulted in Law Library staff spending increased time
maintaining these collections causing a shift in workflow for the TS Team. Now TS
personnel either work almost full-time either for the Court or for the Library. We have
found that this arrangement maximizes productivity and accuracy.
Binding periodicals is another task associated with maintaining a subsection of the
serials owned by the Library. Periodicals represent a type of serial. In general,
periodicals are most like a magazine subscription; in a law library periodicals usually
are journals and law reviews from law schools, bar associations and other legal
organizations. The law library does not bind all periodical titles, but the following chart
tabulates the number of periodical volumes bound over the past ten years:

Over the past decade the law library has bound an average of 193 periodical volumes
each year, costing approximately $3000 in binding charges. Technical services staff
must pull and prepare periodicals prior to binding, including tracking data in the
Horizon database. Upon return from the bindery, staff must receive and prepare bound
volumes for the shelves. Annually, some bound and unbound periodicals are
discarded from our collection due to space constraints. The Collection Development
Team plans to review our periodicals collection during fiscal year 2008/2009 with an
eye to possibly reducing the numbers of periodicals collected in print. Many of our
print periodical titles are now available in one or more databases that our patrons can
access in-house.
TS has often relied on temporary staff during periods of high volume workload. During
fiscal year 2007/2008, filing service personnel worked 253 hours or 32 days in TS.
Another temporary staff worked 40 hours or 5 days. SCPLL is fortunate to have a
volunteer, Joanna Luce, who has worked the equivalent of 6 days per year for the past
three fiscal years, which maximized TS staff time and saved money. Temporary staff
file loose-leaf services, install new pocket parts and handle a variety of other collection
maintenance services. Reliance on temporary staff increased significantly in fiscal
year 2007/2008 due mainly to the increasing Court library workload.
56
Many titles in the SCPLL and the Court Library systems are ongoing subscriptions or
standing orders initially purchased years ago. This year over 500 new titles were
acquired for SCPLL and the Court, and these are cataloged by our Cataloger in the
OCLC shared bibliographic utility. The catalog or bibliographic (bib) record is the key
database record in the Horizon ILS; bib records created in OCLC are downloaded into
Horizon. Without this record in place, the item cannot be circulated to our patrons. In
addition to creating bib records for new titles, TS staff also create Item records for
each volume in a set. Many legal titles are issued in multi-volume sets; in addition,
SCPLL often purchases multiple copies of individual titles. Items represent every
discrete volume that exists in SCPLL or the Court.
Part of the cataloging procedure is to create the appropriate number of copies and
items for each new Title purchased. The converse side of the Cataloging process is
the deselection of materials that are weeded and discarded from the Library’s and the
Court’s collections. Materials are discarded mainly because they are outdated and
have been replaced by a newer edition. The following graph highlights the range of
Cataloging tasks:

Although the numbers of newly created and discarded items has been decreasing
over the past three fiscal years, the number of newly cataloged titles (some purchased
and some acquired for free, such as through federal and state documents depository
programs) has been increasing. The creation of catalog records, as opposed to item
records, is much more time-consuming and governed by the Anglo-American
Cataloging Rules (AACR2). This trend is indicative of a need for the Cataloger to
spend more time cataloging new materials in the OCLC utility.
SCPLL cross trains staff so that we have full coverage of duties. Technical Services
staff are trained on Circulation Desk duties, and two TS staff members are trained to
handle Reference Desk duties.
A Public Services Library Assistant routinely prepares and shelves new library
materials after they are checked into Horizon and cataloged, and the Security Guard
updates loose-leaf services, installs tattle tapes in new materials and de-accessions
materials so that they can be recycled for repurchase to America’s Legal Book Store.
Like the IT staff, Technical Service staff also respond to Help Desk tickets submitted
by other SCPLL staff in the FootPrints Help Desk software system.

Help Desk tickets vary widely in terms of the level of complexity to resolve the issue
and the time taken to complete the ticket successfully. For example, replacing missing
labels and barcodes usually takes five minutes or less and is very easy. Some of the
cataloging requests, on the other hand, have taken well over 30 hours to finish due to
the number of bib records, and associated tasks, to catalog, update or change.
Like their IT counterparts, TS staff have completed major projects over the past two
fiscal years in addition to ongoing daily work assignments:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Successful migration from the RLIN cataloging utility to OCLC
Creation of Constant Data templates used for cataloging on OCLC

Sacramento Superior Court Law Library System
SCPLL is under contract to the Sacramento Superior Court to perform an increasing
range and amount of law library assignments for the judges and court officials. This
contract was initiated over 20 years ago, when SCPLL was housed in the basement of
the Downtown Courthouse and the Court only had two locations to support. The
original contract mainly involved updating a range of loose-leaf services for the judges.
Over the intervening years, the Court has grown substantially and now is housed in
eight locations throughout the county; the number of locations is expected to increase
over the next several years along with the assignment of at least 16 new judicial
positions. Tasks include such activities as continuously updating inventories of
materials in all locations, assisting judges to move departments, and purchasing and
claiming many new items.
In Fiscal Year 2005-2006, the Court required SCPLL to begin tracking our time using
TimeLogger software, which also provides statistics. The following chart shows the
total amount of time worked by SCPLL staff for the Court over the past three fiscal
59
years. Total time spent by all staff working for the Courts is equivalent to one staff
person working 273 days for the Superior Court in FY 2005-2006, 199 days in FY
2006-2007, and 295 days in FY 2007-2008.

Each FY
Law Library staff track and bill time that they work on court assignments every day.
TimeLogger permits billing per “Activity.” Law Library staff have chosen several Activity
categories, including delivery of materials to departments, annual book order tasks
(i.e., ordering, receiving, delivering), processing received materials (e.g., checking into
Horizon database, creating labels if needed, and date stamps, etc), and filing looseleaf
services, etc. Law Library staff accurately track all time worked for the court, but there
are some discrepancies in the assignment of the TimeLogger “Activity” for any day’s
workload. Hence, this chart provides an accurate total amount of law library staff time
worked at the Court, but provides only a sample of some of the Activities for which
staff track their time. The activities listed here are the more common activities for

The court tasks require more supervisory time to manage a growing and increasingly
complex law library system. This is very different from the duties the law library
performed for the Court even four or five years ago. This highlights the Court’s current
need for more on-site, hands-on professional law library management support, rather
than the previous need for more clerical work, such as updating loose-leaf services.

INTERLIBRARY LOAN/DOCUMENT DELIVERY
Interlibrary Loan (ILL) allows a patron of one library to borrow books and other
material owned by another library. For a small fee, a library that has an item will loan it,
and transport the item to the requestor's library to be checked out to the requestor.
Each resource that is quickly borrowed or loaned represents another satisfied patron;
one that SCPLL, or another library, could have lost. Without ILL, if a SCPLL patron
located an item he or she wanted, but SCPLL did not own the desired material, the
patron would have to travel to whichever library owned the material and apply for a
local library card (if eligible).
One of the Public Services Team’s major goals for the 2007-2008 fiscal year was to
develop an Online ILL system which would provide remote users with an easy and
convenient method to request materials, enable necessary information to be gathered
in consistent manner, and gather useful statistics regarding the ILL service. Working
with the Web Team, Public Services Team members created an online, interactive,
Interlibrary Loan entry form to be used by SCPLL patrons and staff when processing a
“Borrowing” request http://www.saclaw.org/illLendToOtherLibraries.aspx and an online,
interactive, Interlibrary Loan entry form to be used by SCPLL staff and outside libraries
when processing a “Lending” request
http://www.saclaw.org/illBorrowFromOtherLibraries.aspx .
63
These new forms debuted in May 2008. In addition, SCPLL licensed the WorldCat
Resource Sharing Online ILL service, which allows SCPLL patrons access to over
1 billion individual items held by participating libraries, and allows us to borrow a
particular book with the touch of a button.
In the 2007-2008 fiscal year we loaned 284 items to other libraries including 26
document deliveries.
CIRCULATION STATISTICS
Last fiscal year (2006-2007) we checked out 7,124 items. This fiscal year (2007-2008),
we checked out 8,670 items, an increase of 18%.
In the last fiscal year we added 231 new borrowers. In this current fiscal year the
number rose to 308, reflecting an increase of 25%.
We currently have 2251 registered borrowers. Fifty-five borrowers registered at the
Branch Library, and 2,196 registered at our Main Library.
Due to a concentrated educational campaign by our circulation staff, renewals via our
Online Public Access Catalog increased by 109% over the prior year. Online renewal
currently accounts for 29% of our total renewals.
Total checkouts are as follows:
Main Library
Checkouts = 7710
Renewals, phone and in person = 4861
Branch Library
Checkouts = 960 items
Renewals via OPAC = 207

Combined Statistics for Both Locations
Checkouts = 8670
Renewals via OPAC = 2170
Circulation Statistics by Borrower Class
SCPLL has two Borrowing Programs: “Regular” Sacramento County Attorney
borrowers who do not have to put down a deposit in order to borrow material, and
Sacramento County Resident Deposit Patrons, who must make a deposit in order to
borrow material. The Sacramento County Resident Deposit Program has two
divisions. Long-Term Deposit Patrons (SRLT) must put down a $200 deposit for the
privilege of holding a library card that allows them to check out material. Single-Item
Deposit patrons (SIDP) must make a cash deposit in exchange for one item at a time.
Single Item Deposit Patrons are not issued library cards, but are given their cash back
when they return the material.
At the end of the 2007-2008 fiscal year SCPLL had 135 Sacramento Resident Long
Term borrowers, making up 6% of our total patron count and accounting for 7.1 % of
our circulation.

PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES
Professional Development
Law Library staff members are involved in a variety of professional organizations,
including the American Association of Law Libraries (AALL), the Northern California
Association of Law Libraries (NOCALL), the Council on Library/Media Technicians
(COLT), and the California Library Association (CLA). Involvement in these
professional organizations allows staff members to attend conferences, workshops
and other educational programs, where they are able to learn about trends and topics
65
in the law library field and improve their skills. Through professional organizations,
library staff are able to create professional relationships with fellow law librarians and
share ideas about ways to better serve library patrons.
•
Kate Fitz was appointed webmaster for AALL’s State, County, and Court Law
Librarians Special Interest Section in July 2007. The SCCLL’s website had
recently been revamped, and Kate cleaned up and standardized the pages.
She also updated the existing content, uploaded new content, and added new
functions such as a search bar and an RSS newsfeed. As webmaster, she
was part of the SCCLL’s Technology Committee and participated in its meetings
and planning sessions.
•
Kate Fitz also spoke on a panel entitled “Second Life Smorgasbord” with
panelists from other special libraries at the 2007 Internet Librarian conference.
Kate presented an overview of legal activity in Second Life and discussed her
own project, a law collection in the “Second Life Library 2.0” project started by
the Alliance Library System of Illinois.
•
Kate also received a grant from the AALL’s continuing education division to
create and run a summer-long “virtual workshop” for law librarians interested in
exploring Second Life. The grant money paid for the rental of space, incidental
expenses, and programming services, as well as two webcasts, one
