One effort already underway directly relevant to the Board's concern for preserving non-U.S. legal literature is a search for a new Asst. Dir. for Content Management. The main role for this new staff member is to beef up our capacity to grow our collections in Foreign, Comparative, and International Law.

     As it happens, we already have made a respectable entree into these three areas, and our holdings for some jurisdictions are fairly significant. (See, for example, in the attached exhibit, the listings for Australia, Canada, England, Haiti, India, New Zealand and South Africa) Also, in the Comparative Law area, our British Empire collection is quite compendious.
