Sandy:

Janice Snyder Anderson told me today that Georgetown University 
Williams Law Center is holding a symposium on July 25, entitled

"The Future of Today's Legal Scholarship," 
http://www.ll.georgetown.edu/ftls/

one of the goals of which is to develop a uniform standard for 
preserving scholarly blogs.  Laura E. Campbell of LC and Linda 
Frueh of the Internet Archive, well-known leaders in digital 
preservation, are scheduled to participate.  All are welcome to 
the symposium, which will be held in honor of the late Bob 
Oakley; online registration will be available next month.  I'll 
let you know of other activities as I learn of them.

Respecting  your comment:

"P.S. One hears that some of the most authoritative and important
new legal publishing in short form is now being done by leading
scholars through blogs. Are librarians thinking about ways of
preserving this elusive literature?"

Thanks for raising this important issue, which I believe Ann
Okerson also raised respecting general academic libraries, at her
ALA Midwinter presentation,

http://wikis.ala.org/midwinter2009/index.php/ALCTS#Costs_of_Continuing_Resources_in_Libraries_Interest_Group

Yes, this topic is currently being discussed by the special
interest sections of the American Association of Law Libraries
(AALL), and I hope to have more detail shortly.
