Dear valued LLMC Members: This content update provides updated information for February 2024. As the spring season is quickly approaching, and we have been experiencing wonderfully warm weather, February has been a busy month! Noteworthy news is that the CLIR grant submitted by the University of Arizona Daniel F. Cracchiolo Law Library, in conjunction with LLMC and the Navajo Nation Department of Water Resources has made the first cut of more than 150 proposals and is included in the 2nd round of 49 applicants. This grant will fund a first portion of the digitization of the Navajo Nation Department of Water Resources Library Collection, which is included as one of LLMC’s Special Focus Collections. Please take the time to browse the titles that were digitized in the initial phase of this project! As mentioned last month, we are on the very last stretch of having the Early State Records reels completed, and January saw the remaining reels for Maine be processed. We have moved on to finishing up the remaining microfilm reels for Pennsylvania. Our February list of titles released includes hundreds of titles for the Maine and Massachusetts collections. Be on the lookout for a lot of Maine titles being added to LLMC Digital. We are also preparing the remaining three reels for Pennsylvania which deal with the colony’s relations with the Native American peoples. Also new this month, is a Special Focus Collection for Hindu Law. We have reviewed LLMC Digital and any title that fits into the Hindu Law Collection has been added accordingly. We added this collection because a recent donation contained several Hindu Law titles. Also in February, we added two new languages to our broad foreign law collection. March will debut our new titles in the Sanskrit and Burmese languages! As is evident from the statistics below, publications from Germany, Poland, Russia, and other Eastern European countries continue to be added to LLMC at a high rate. We do our best to ensure that other jurisdictions are always represented, trying to make the monthly additions more global in nature and appealing to a wider audience. This past month, we also added a Special Focus Collection for the Law Library of Congress Legal Reports. As the Law Library of Congress releases new reports each month, we will add them to this collection. We will also be working retrospectively to add some reports from previous years every month. These reports, written by Specialists at the Law Library of Congress, cover a wide range of subjects, and many global jurisdictions. Many of these reports are comparative in nature, discussing topics across multiple jurisdictions. As always, all titles available in LLMC Digital have been cataloged in OCLC. The MARC records are available from OCLC at no charge to OCLC member libraries and institutions. Authority records for all access points are represented in the Name Authority File hosted by OCLC and the Library of Congress. Additionally, these records are re-distributed to the VIAF (Virtual International Authority File). If you have any questions or suggestions regarding LLMC content, please feel free to email Joseph Hinger, Director of Global Legal Content Initiatives, at josephh@llmc-digital.org. Title/Volume Count Update:
A total of 457 titles have been added to the holdings of LLMC Digital for the month of February 2024 (for more details about this update, please visit http://www.llmc.com/ Detailed additions to broad collection categories are:
