Guest bloggers taking a holiday for July
Hi all. We're taking a little guest blogger holiday for the month of July. FGI volunteers will continue to post to the center column. We have a *really* special guest lined up for August, so stay tuned for that! HUGE thanks to the Stanford Law Librarians, who graciously took 2 rounds of BOTM! And as always, if you're interested in being a guest blogger, please email us at admin AT freegovinfo DOT info. You may also have noticed that we've got a new look. We just thought it was time for a little spruced-up look and feel, sort of like a new shirt :-) We're still the same old FGI underneath. Let us know what you think by leaving us a comment.

May ’08 botms: Stanford Law librarians
Happy [w:May Day] (whether you observe [w:International Workers' Day] or the lesser known [w:Loyalty Day])!! This month we have a special treat for you: a group of law librarians from Stanford have agreed to be group bloggers-of-the-month for May, 2008. The group includes Paul Lomio, Brian Provenzale, Erika Wayne, Kate Wilko, and George Wilson -- see the Stanford Law Librarians' bios for more on what they do and where their interests lie. We're really looking forward to reading what's on the minds of these good folks. Thanks also to Frank Lester, our BOTM for April, 2008! Below is the recap of the threads that Frank got started.
- Court Invalidates Part of Copyright Remedy Clarification Act
- HHS Appeals Ruling That Would Give Consumers More Access to Physician Medicare Claims Database
- Consumer Satisfaction with E-Government on the Downturn
Stanford Law Librarians group bloggers for May, 2008
J. Paul Lomio is library director and lecturer at law at Stanford Law School. Paul hates paying for government information twice -- once as a taxpayer, and then again as a library director forced to purchase government produced information. Paul has graduate degrees in law from Gonzaga Law School and the University of Washington and a masters of library and information science from the Catholic University of America. Paul was admitted to the Washington State Bar. He is the author (with Henrik Spang-Hanssen) of Legal Research Methods in the U.S. and Europe (DJOF 2008). Brian Provenzale has been a librarian for a few years (at UCLA and currently at Stanford) and a Web nerd for over ten. He thinks every U.S. citizen should, with minimal effort, be able to find out what the government is doing at all times. Sergio Stone. Sergio is Stanford's first Foreign, Comparative and International Law Librarian. Erika V. Wayne is deputy library director and lecturer in law at Stanford Law School. Along with George Wilson, Kate Wilko and Paul Lomio, Erika Wayne has co-taught Advanced Legal Research for 3 years. Erika's interest in Open Access dates back to the 1996 when she helped in the development of the Securities Class Action Clearinghouse -- the first court designated internet site for public posting of securities litigation filings. And, she hates to pay for *anything* that should be free. She has a JD from Penn, an AB from Duke and a MS from Illinois in Library and Information Science. Kate Wilko is a Reference Librarian and Lecturer in Law at Stanford Law School. This Spring marks the sixth time she has team-taught Advanced Legal Research. Within the legal research world and its limited publisher options, open access is quickly becoming a topic of more urgent importance. Kate is very pleased to be able to share thoughts and ideas with other open access community members on freegovinfo.info George Wilson is a reference librarian at Stanford's law library. He started working there in late 2005, after having spent seven years in corporate law practice in Washington, DC and San Francisco, as well as around a decade as a researcher and administrator in various Stanford departments. He has a JD from Georgetown, a BA from UC Berkeley, and will receive his MLIS degree from San Jose State in May 2008. Continue reading
