About Us:

This website came into existence through the collaborative work of five law librarians. Stephanie Davidson, of the University of Illinois, brought the ideas for this site to life by designing a database that is accessible, logical and aesthetic. James G. Durham, of the Touro Law Center, and Stephanie Wilson, of Seattle University, served as the site’s first editorial team. Further guidance and sensibility was provided by James Donovan, of the University of Georgia, and Ron Wheeler, of Georgia State University. Courtney Selby, of the University of Tulsa, and Larry Reeves, of Fordham University, assisted with annotations.

How it works:

The website is powered by a MySQL database with MovableType as a front end. Citations and annotations can be browsed by author(s) or by section of the bibliography. We provide links to LexisNexis, Westlaw, and HeinOnline for subscribers of those services, and links to SSRN or other open access sources when available. For more information, please contact Stephanie Davidson.

Editors:

The website is edited by two librarians from the American Association of Law Libraries Standing Committee on Lesbian and Gay Issues. We envision that each year a new editorial team will form with a previous editor and a new volunteer. Editors run searches for new material, distribute citations to volunteer annotators, check content for errors, proof all text, and upload annotations onto the website.
