InfoBrief: Research Beyond Lexis, Westlaw, and Google

One of the special services offered by your librarian liaison is research instruction for your students in the classroom.  If your students are writing major papers in your course, now is a good time to introduce them to the legal resources they need in order to research and write that paper. We regularly teach research in courses on immigration, human rights, legal narratives, corporate governance, feminist jurisprudence, and many more.
 
Contact your liaison today and set up a time to talk about what materials your students need to learn more about.  The librarian will have some new ideas for you, too, with the many electronic resources to which we subscribe. The research instruction can be supplemented with links made on your course Blackboard site.
 
We are eager to help your students at the point of need and to make sure they can research beyond Lexis, Westlaw, and Google.
 
Best,
