A post in the Law Librarian Blog looks into the subject of legal research....how to go about it and how not to. Westlaw and Lexis are wonderful finding tools, sure, but they do little to help us understand the law. For understanding, we need to consult secondary sources. Read why secondary sources are like cheeseburgers here.

How Do You Like Your......
Dear 1Ls,
Do you remember that green half sheet in your Orientation packets? The one that asked you to tell us your preferences regarding how you like to get your information (books, electronic format, etc.)?
Well, we want to tally the results and found that only about 35 of you filled out the form. So, we are giving you another chance (librarians are nice that way...)
If you still have the form, you can fill it out and put it in the box on the Circulation Desk in the law library. If you don't have the form, or can't find it, here's a link so you can fill out the survey online:

Oh, and if you missed one of the required library tours, we are giving two make-up tours. Sunday September 12 at 11:15 a.m. and Monday September 13 at Noon.
