The International Journal of Legal Information is the official publication of the International Association of Law Libraries (IALL). As noted in its current statement of purpose, the Journal “serves the global community of law librarians, legal scholars, and practitioners through the publication of original articles, conference papers, bibliographies, book reviews, and documents concerning law and law-related information.” It is also a significant source of information about the history of the IALL and the major figures of international law librarianship who have participated in its programs and activities. Much of the history of the Association, which was established in 1959, is recorded within the Journal in presidential columns, editorials, memorials, and reports on meetings and conferences.
