New General Editor for Index to Foreign Legal Periodicals Named

From the Announcement:

Marci Hoffman, associate director and international and foreign law librarian at University of California Berkeley, has been appointed general editor for AALL's Index to Foreign Legal Periodicals

Hoffman replaces Thomas H. Reynolds who will retire as general editor on December 31.

Hoffman received her MLIS from the University of California, Berkeley in 1989. She worked as assistant librarian for Farella, Braun + Martel in San Francisco until 1991, when she became an assistant librarian at Boalt Hall and ran Boalt Express.

She served as the foreign, comparative, and international law librarian at the University of Minnesota Law Library from 1993 to 1999 and was the international and foreign law librarian at Georgetown University Law Library until 2003 when she returned to Boalt as the international and foreign law librarian. In 2006, she was appointed associate director of the law library.

In her current position, Hoffman teaches an international and foreign legal research seminar. She has done extensive work with the American Society of International Law and the University of Minnesota Human Rights Library, and is an expert on international and foreign legal research. She has written a number of articles on legal research and teaching, and in 2003 she developed an international law web portal called Electronic Information System for International Law (www.eisil.org).

Hoffman is also the co-author of two books, Hoffman & Rumsey, International and Foreign Legal Research: A Coursebook (Martinus Nijhoff Publishers, 2008) and Hoffman & Berring, International Legal Research in a Nutshell (Thomson/West, 2008).

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012
