Librarians will create electronic research pathfinders for courses that satisfy the advanced writing requirement as well as for courses involving specialized research sources such as immigration law, international law, administrative law, trademark law, etc. Each research pathfinder is designed to serve as a starting point for research for students enrolled in the course with links to primary and secondary sources. A list of current research pathfinders is available.
Librarians will speak to classes about research strategies in various topical areas at the request of faculty. Faculty interested in arranging a research presentation to provide “just in time” research instruction to students enrolled in their courses should talk with their library liaison in advance about scheduling the presentation and tailoring it to the professor’s needs.
The library provides an online collection of recent course exams that professors have approved for release.
Required course texts and supplementary materials for current courses are kept on Reserve behind the Circulation Desk. The library purchases all required course texts. The following sources may be useful for faculty to identify course textbooks:
A directory of the major legal publishers with vendor contact information
An alphabetical listing of major legal publishers with links to their web pages.
