Oregon County Law Library Consultant Grant

About This Grant

The Oregon Council of County Law Libraries (OCCLL) was formed to improve the quality of county law libraries statewide and foster communication and cooperation among them.  Since the funding for each county library is dependent on a percentage of the amount of court filing fees each court receives, there are wide disparities in the materials and staff available from county to county.  This grant would enable OCCLL to hire a consultant to study the county law libraries and make recommendations to lessen disparities, foster better communication, and create collection development plans which could include cooperative purchasing, and help market our services to the legal community and general public through conventional and electronic means.
