Libraries (back) on Wheels: Digital Libraries on Wheels
One of my first full-time library assistant jobs out of high school was on a bookmobile. It was a great job for so many reasons, for the people who would not otherwise have had any library service and for the library staff who got to visit hidden pockets of our city while listening to the Watergate hearings on the radio. (It was great prep for college, law school, and library school 🙂
But bookmobiles have been phased out over the years, or so I thought. Here’s a creative use of a Library-mobile, rather than a Book-mobile. I could see doing this with Oregon public law library research materials!

Oregon Measure 50 (1997?) and the Fabulous Legislative Liaisons
We love the Oregon Legislature’s Legislative Liaisons, at 503-986-1000!
They are helpful, friendly, and have senses of humor. Wowsers! (And this is not an easy job I am sure, especially during the Legislative Session.)
It’s tough for those of us who are (relative) newcomers to Oregon. Not only are we in the Willamette Valley supposed to know what the heck The Sunset Highway is (Route 26 !) and the Banfield (what the devil is The Banfield? it’s Route 84), but we’re supposed to know 100 years of Oregon Ballot Measures by number, even if they use the same numbers over and over again.

Top 10 Law Songs: From Johnny Cash to Homer Simpson?

Power to Children and the Poor: Utility (power, light, and water) Service
Another type of law library question that we, and public libraries, start hearing as the weather gets colder:
Where do I find the law that that says power companies cannot turn power off if you are very poor, have children, or are elderly?
Quick answer, if the utility has been or soon will be turned off:

When Do Clocks Change to Standard Time? November 2nd, 2008
It’s that time of year when we start thinking we should know this, but we don’t! And that is why you have Librarians (and the Internet Tubes 🙂 Of course in an election year when everyone seems to want to CHANGE (yeah, yeah), make sure you get that TIME change date from a reliable source, e.g.:
NASA or those NIST people (but make sure you’re in the right year – yikes)
And then there is the Official time.

LegalLinks from OSB: Small Claims, Animal Law, Legal Myths, and MORE
If you haven’t tried out the streaming video at the Oregon State Bar’s (OSB) website, now’s the time to make yourself comfortable and settle in for 30 minutes of some good old fashioned law-learnin’. Think how much smarter you will be afterward!
Topics include animal law, small claims, landlord-tenant law, police stops, charitable giving, legal assistance for military personnel, consumer bankruptcy, immigration law, bicycle law, and MORE.
There are no bells and whistles with these videos, and you might need some coffee or tea to give yourself a boost, but you will be so much wiser after listening to these. And they are only 30-minutes, which I know is a lifetime in this world of 25 second u-tube moving pictures. But lower your heart rate, live longer, impress your friends, your dates, your parents even!
