Re-Hashing The Hash Tag - Crowd Competition And Community Standards At The #Aall2009 Conference, Roger V. Skalbeck

Law Faculty Publications

This article notes that conferences and events "rely on the hashtag system more than almost any other entity." This year's AALL conference was no exception. Now that the conference is over, this is a great chance to look at conference‑related Twitter activity, searching for possible meaning or moral lessons. If you attended the conference but didn't follow Twitter, here's an insight into what you may have missed, and what you might look forward to trying at the next conference you attend.


Have You Seen The New Library Bar?: Designing A Legal Research Toolbar, Jennifer L. Wondracek Nov 2007

Have You Seen The New Library Bar?: Designing A Legal Research Toolbar, Jennifer L. Wondracek

UF Law Faculty Publications

It seems like more and more people today are selecting their legal research results based on ease of access rather than the completeness of the results. After hearing one too many third-year law students say "I researched my entire paper on Google," I set off to create a tool that would satisfy both the desire for speed and the need for complete and authoritative research results. The tool is a legal research toolbar that integrates into a web browser and provides constant and quick access to library-sanctioned websites and databases. This paper walks readers through the design process of the …


Internet Infoglut And Invisible Ink: Spamdexing Search Engines With Meta Tags, Ira Nathenson Jan 1998

Internet Infoglut And Invisible Ink: Spamdexing Search Engines With Meta Tags, Ira Nathenson

Ira Steven Nathenson

This Article addresses 'spamdexing,' namely, the practice of stuffing invisible keywords into webpages in order to try to get more favorable listings with search engines. For instance, some website owners will stuff the trademarks of competitors into a webpage’s code, particularly by using 'meta tags,' indexing keywords that can be hidden in a webpage’s source code. Although meta tags are not typically viewed by users, the code can be read by search engines, with the result that webpages may be improperly boosted in search engine rankings. Such practices can confuse the public and have also spurred trademark lawsuits. But the …

Dean Christie's Letter, Innis Christie

Innis Christie Collection

What a year! For one thing, it was the first year in the new Sir James Dunn Law Library and the refurbished Weldon Law Building. It seemed to me that the academic year had hardly gotten under way when we were into official opening ceremonies. The opening in the atrium, following the fall convocation on Saturday, October 21, was a fine ceremony, culminating in the unveiling of a plaque by the premier of Nova Scotia, Dal law alumnus The Honourable John M. Buchannan '58, and Mr. Donald Sobey, chairman of the capital campaign which paid for the building.


Research In A Changing World Of Law And Technology, Morris L. Cohen May 1990

Research In A Changing World Of Law And Technology, Morris L. Cohen

Dalhousie Law Journal

As a long-time friend and admirer of legal education at Dalhousie, it is an honor and a pleasure for me to offer the Read lecture this year. It is particularly warming to have Mrs. Read and the next two generations of Reads here today, since Dean Read was the strongest proponent of the law library's development during his deanship here. One of the designated topics for these lectures has been legal education. With the dedication of the addition to the Weldon Building housing the restored Sir James Dunn Law Library, and the designation of a librarian, for the first time, …


Dean Christie's Letter, Innis Christie Oct 1989

Dean Christie's Letter, Innis Christie

Innis Christie Collection

The new Sir James Dunn Law Library is open! The Official Opening, capping an exciting week of Law School "happenings", will be on October 21, 1989, but the real "Opening" occurred in mid-May. Summer student maintenance employees had worked night and day from the end of exams moving books from their temporary storage in the Killam Library to the new Law Library, to the accomplishment of ubiquitous rock music blaring from their radio. On the morning of Monday, May 15, Chief Law Librarian, Professor Christian Wiktor, solemnly intruded on them and firmly turned the radio off, with the announcement: "This …
