August 2015 Roundup (INALJ Stats)

September 2, 2015

13 million page views! What a great month! August was such an amazing month at INALJ, though bittersweet. It was also the end of an INALJ era as it was the last month long serving volunteers Rachael Altman, COO and Ashley Mancill, Volunteer Manager, were with us.

March 5, 2015

In order to better reflect how LIS folk currently feel I am removing all interviews that are more than 1 year old.

All…

MLK Day: INALJ is closed

January 20, 2014

INALJ.com allows all its editors all federal holidays off, so today most pages are not being updated. This is a perfect time to reflect on Dr. King’s work and legacy.
