Get REAL!: Finding Secondary Sources

Sometimes you just don't know where to start on your legal research projects. When you're stuck, a great starting place might be a secondary source. Why start with secondary sources (and why aren't they called "primary sources" if you should start with them)? Find out on Monday, October 22, at 11 am, when we discuss these great treasures. Class will meet for about fifteen minutes by the Reference Desk.

Get REAL!: Finding Treatises

We'll be offering our first "Get REAL!" (Research and Electronic-Assisted Learning) tutorial on Monday, October 15. Learn how to find treatises -- those mammoth learned works on major topics. Join us at the Reference Desk on Monday at 11 am for a short introduction to our online catalog, which helps us keep track of all our treatises (plus other legal research materials too!).
