We’re pleased, and very excited, to announce that our new, collaborative, Oregon county law libraries Oregon Legal Research website went live last week.

And what a journey it has been, with the generous and nurturing (and pro bono!) support from the best friend public law librarians ever had, Justia. It’s been a long and interesting journey, which we’ll write up one day soon – and post to the website, but not until the journey is complete.

Oregon Notary Public 2012-2013 Winter and Spring Training

I’m a self-proclaimed cheerleader for the Oregon Secretary of State’s Notary Training seminars. I insist notaries under my care attend training whenever they renew their commissions – and that includes me. I learn something new every time I attend – and the training is excellent.

So, if you haven’t attended an Oregon SOS notary seminar recently and don’t practice the Art of Notarization often and among experienced and well-trained notaries, sign up now to refresh your skills.
