Webinar 4: Developing Legal Aid-Library Collaborations: Models and Replication Resources

Summary:

Our final webinar in the series highlights innovative, technology-enabled collaborations between legal aid programs and public and public law libraries in their communities to connect people with legal information. Panelists from legal aid programs and libraries in several states discuss why and how they forged these partnerships and how they work. We also provide nuts and bolts resources to replicate these and similar partnerships in other communities, and potential funding opportunities to seed them. We discuss opportunities for library involvement in project advisory groups and state commissions.
