The first bar examination in the United States was administered in oral form in the Delaware Colony in 1783, and in 1885, Massachusetts became the first state to employ a written version of the bar exam. Over time, the bar examination process has become more standardized, but there's no one test. One example of a standardized test is the Uniform Bar Examination (UBE), created back in 2011, and first administered that year by Missouri and North Dakota. So what is NEXT in standardized tests? According to the National Conference of Bar Examiners' website, the NextGen Bar Exam, set to debut in July 0f 2026, will “test a broad range of foundational lawyering skills, utilizing a focused set of clearly identified fundamental legal concepts and principles needed in today's practice of law.” Will the transition from a standardized test like UBE to NextGen be an easy one? And what can law students & faculty expect? In this episode, host Craig Williams is joined by guest Dennis C. Prieto, an Associate Professor and Reference Librarian at ­Rutgers Law School, who served on the National Conference of Bar Examiners' NextGen Content Scope Committee and is a member of the NextGen Tasks and Rubrics Advisory Committee. Craig & Dennis explore the specifics of the exam, how law students and faculty can transition to preparing for the new exam, and what students can expect from the exam in 2026. Mentioned in this episode:  NextGen Bar Exam From My Perspective: Essays on the NextGen Bar Exam and Legal Education By Dennis C. Prieto, Susan Landrum, Timothy J. McFarlin, and Wanda M. Temm

For the first time ever, we have a guest co-host this week while Marlene wears her fancy sneakers around ILTACon seeking answers to our Crystal Ball question. Katie Brown, Associate Dean for Information Resources at Charleston School of Law is on a mission to increase the teaching of practical technology skills to law students. In her view, law professors "are required to educate people so that they can go out into the practice and successfully do that. And so beyond just, rule 1.1 with legal technology and having that competency, for us as law schools, I think we have an ethical obligation to be teaching legal technology." This approach needs to be embedded into the Law School's culture, because it costs money, time, and effort to do correctly. In upcoming research collected with University of Connecticut Law's Jessica de Perio Wittman, Brown and de Perio Wittman calculated that on average, law students have less than 4 classes during their entire time in law school that have some aspect of teaching them the technology skills in that topic. Brown wants to see that number rise. While in Denver at the AALL Conference, Katie not only answered our Crystal Ball question, she also persuaded Abby Dos Santos, Reference Librarian at Caplin & Drysdale, to sit down with her and have a conversation about the pipeline of technology teaching from law school to law firms. We cover both of those answers and then Katie turns the mic on Greg to ask what law students need to understand about court dockets before landing in law firms.

In this episode, Janet and Jim take a closer look at the voyages of Captain James Cook, Sir Frederick William Beechey and Baptist Minister Howard Malcolm and why the travels of these men would be of interest to the Atheneum patrons in 1841.Jim talks about why islanders at the time were keeping up with discoveries far beyond the shores of Nantucket and how it served them. This Shelves of Yore is a production of the Nantucket Atheneum.

Janet and Jim return to the 1841 catalogue and peruse the “health & science” section. You'll learn about the field of Phenology and why you probably have never heard of the field of Phrenology. Jim puts a few volumes and the authors in their historical context and draws parallels to the present day. This Shelves of Yore is a production of the Nantucket Atheneum.  It was written, narrated, and edited by Janet Forest and researched by Jim Borzilleri.  More on Phrenology courtesy of Jim Borzilleri·  One concept Phrenology basically got right was the localization of function in the brain. However, they went overboard in their assignment of specific traits and behaviors to a specific region, let alone its mapping on the outer skull.·  Johann Gaspar Spurzheim was a student of Franz Josef Gall.  Gall tended to focus on the negative traits, while Spurzheim's work tended to focus on the “good” behaviors, possibly to make it more appealing to a reform-minded 19th century audience.Here is more information on Phrenology and images of the Phrenology Bust.https://artsci.case.edu/dittrick/2015/06/18/one-lump-or-two-phrenology-diagnosed-by-the-bump/https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/facing-a-bumpy-history-144497373/https://nha.org/research/nantucket-history/history-topics/what-was-phrenology-and-what-does-it-have-to-do-with-nantucket-history/ The Nantucket Atheneum is located at 1 India Street in Nantucket, Massachusetts.Visit us online at www.nantucketatheneum.org

In the first episode of The Shelves of Yore, Adult Programs Coordinator Janet Forest and Reference Library Associate Jim Borzilleri take you back to the year 1841 when the Nantucket Atheneum was a members-only institution and the island was prospering at the height of the whaling industry. Jim explains the significance of the 1841 library catalogue created by the first head librarian Maria Mitchell, and Janet asks Jim about one of the items in the catalogue: Democracy in America by Alexis De Tocqueville.This Shelves of Yore is a production of the Nantucket Atheneum. It was written, narrated, and edited by Janet Forest and researched by Jim Borzilleri  References and Resources:The Nantucket Atheneum: A History by Betsy Tyler.  Available to borrow at the library.What is a panopticon? And what does it have to do with Alexis De Tocqueville?The panopticon was the brainchild of English philosopher and social theorist Jeremy Bentham in the 18th century. It is a building design that allows a single prison guard to see and control all the inmates, while all the inmates cannot see each other or the security guard. The theory was that if criminals were isolated and left alone with their thoughts and knowing they are under constant surveillance, they will reform their bad behavior.Alexis De Tocqueville and his colleague Gustave de Beaumont were sent to United States by the French crown observe and report back on the American penitentiary system. Among other places they visited the Eastern State Penitentiary in Philidelphia that was built in 1829 by the Quakers and had many of the characteristics of Bentham's vision of panopticon.Click here for an image of Jeremy Bentham's panopticon. For more information about how the panopticon still influences our prison system, check out Ted Conover's Vanity Fair 2015 article “Guantanamo Bay Solitary Confinement”The Nantucket Atheneum is located at 1 India Street in Nantucket, Massachusetts.Visit us online at www.nantucketatheneum.org

In this episode of Conversations at the Washington Library, Samantha Snyder speaks to Jim Ambuske about the life of Elizabeth Willing Powel. Powel was a prominent Philadelphian who became close to the Washington family. Although her loyalties were unclear in the early years of the American War for Independence, she eventually embraced the Revolution.

She is responsible for developing the library's general collections and electronic resources, as well as managing all reference inquiries. She is currently at work on a biography of the life of Elizabeth Willing Powel.  About Our Host: Jim Ambuske, Ph.D. leads the Center for Digital History at the Washington Library.

Jill Erickson, Reference Librarian at Falmouth Public Library and Melanie Lauwers, Books Editor at the Cape Cod Times discuss holiday books.

Abstract: Libraries that serve the public – school, community public, and academic – have certain intellectual freedom responsibilities to their clientele. That is, they must protect the rights of every individual to both seek and receive information without restriction. How librarians exercise these responsibilities within the different purposes, constraints, and governing structures of their parent institutions is quite different. Carla J.
