Just (barely!) in time for the holidays, the Winter issue of the CALL Bulletin has hit the icy streets! So pour your winter warmer of choice, curl up by the fire, and check out the first installment of the Bulletin’s New Member Q&A, a librarian’s tales of teaching law and technology, all the latest library policy dope from Springfield, and much more.
Early in the new year, we’ll be reaching out to all of you for your thoughts about any of your once beloved resources that have been lost to the ages, or any valuable resources that might now be at risk; see the bottom of page 15 for a teaser. But until then, enjoy the holidays, and this issue of the Bulletin!

We are saddened to report the death of Gail Hartzell, retired librarian from Valparaiso University Law Library and Professor Emeritus at Valparaiso University Law School, who passed away on October 21, 2013. Gail was very active in the Chicago Association of Law Libraries, serving on the CRIV and Archives committees, co-chairing the Membership and Bulletin committees, and serving as Director of the CALL Board from 2009 to 2011. Last May, Gail received the CALL Lifetime Achievement in Law Librarianship Award.

Gail is survived by Thomas Hartzell, her husband of 45 years, three sons, a sister, eight grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in her name may be made to the American Diabetes Association.
Join us in offering her family and friends our sincerest condolences during this sad time. We will all miss her as a colleague and friend after her many years of loyal service to CALL.
