Secondary Sources: Top Ten, Susan Drisko Zago
Secondary Sources: Top Ten, Susan Drisko Zago
Law Faculty Scholarship
Secondary sources are a legal researcher's best friend. They are a great place to begin researching a new topic as they provide a framework for understanding the subject. Not only will a good secondary source provide researchers with a way of approaching the topic, but it will also introduce beginning researchers to the language of the subject. Secondary sources also contain expert analysis, references to primary law such as cases, statutes, and regulations, and will also include such other resources as governmental reports, statistics, and other secondary sources. While secondary sources are an incredibly valuable research tool, they can offer …
An Eleven Year Retrospective Of The Acquisition Review Journal, Mitchell J. Elder
An Eleven Year Retrospective Of The Acquisition Review Journal, Mitchell J. Elder
Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this research was to examine the evolution of the Acquisition Review Journal (ARJ) through its first 11 years of publication. Researchers assessed the Defense Acquisition community through a review of ARJ articles. They considered what areas academics and practitioners have explored, and how they have explored them. This review documents such characteristics as areas of study, methods of study, and contributors. Trends are identified and conclusions are drawn as to the contribution of the ARJ to the Defense Acquisition community of practice.
Law's Box: Law, Jurisprudence And The Information Ecosphere, Paul D. Callister
Law's Box: Law, Jurisprudence And The Information Ecosphere, Paul D. Callister
Paul D. Callister
For so long as it has been important to know “what the law is,” the practice of law has been an information profession. Nonetheless, just how the information ecosphere affects legal discourse and thinking has never been systematically studied. Legal scholars study how law attempts to regulate information flow, but they say little about how information limits, shapes, and provides a medium for law to operate.
Part I of the paper introduces a holistic approach to “medium theory”—the idea that methods of communication influence social development and ideology—and applies the theory to the development of legal thinking and institutions. Part …

Assessing The Influence Of Computer-Assisted Legal Research: A Study Of California Supreme Court Opinions, Paul Hellyer
Assessing The Influence Of Computer-Assisted Legal Research: A Study Of California Supreme Court Opinions, Paul Hellyer
Library Staff Publications
Mr. Hellyer reviews the literature regarding CALR and identifies several hypotheses regarding quantitative differences in the results of print-based research and CALR. He then analyzes California Supreme Court opinions to determine CALR's effect on the quantity, recency, and types of legal authority cited by the court. The data fail to support the commentator's hypotheses.

Microfiche Checking And Refilming At The University Of Michigan Law Library, Kincaid C. Brown
Microfiche Checking And Refilming At The University Of Michigan Law Library, Kincaid C. Brown
Law Librarian Scholarship
In an effort to combat this loss of important legal information, UMLL instituted a fiche-checking process where, to the best of our ability, we check the fiche not just for bibliographic accuracy, but also for readability, cut-off text, and omissions. When we discover problems, we ask the publisher to refilm the problematic volumes, offering UMLL paper volumes for the job. The following is the process UMLL has instituted wherein we try to discover and remedy problems with purchased microfiche.

The Public Library As A Public Forum: The (De)Evolution Of A Legal Doctrine, John N. Gathegi
The Public Library As A Public Forum: The (De)Evolution Of A Legal Doctrine, John N. Gathegi
School of Information Faculty Publications
When dealing with First Amendment free speech issues in the context of public libraries, courts have merely cited the supposition that constitutional public forum analysis leads to the conclusion that the public library is a limited public forum for the purposes of First Amendment analysis. By focusing narrowly on the issue of whether Internet access in libraries constitutes a public forum, and determining that it does not, the U.S. Supreme Court not only misses an opportunity to refine the concept of the public forum in modern-day terms but also somehow implies that public library activities are different from other speech …
Why Print And Electronic Resources Are Essential To The Academic Law Library, Michelle M. Wu
Why Print And Electronic Resources Are Essential To The Academic Law Library, Michelle M. Wu
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
Libraries have supported multiple formats for decades, from paper and microforms to audiovisual tapes and CDs. However, the newest medium, digital transmission, has presented a wider scope of challenges and caused library patrons to question the established and recognized multiformat library. Within the many questions posed, two distinct ones echo repeatedly. The first doubts the need to sustain print in an increasingly digital world, and the second warns of the dangers of relying on a still-developing technology. This article examines both of these positions and concludes that abandoning either format would translate into a failure of service to patrons, both …

Towards A Continuum Of Scholarship: The Eventual Collapse Of The Distinction Between Grey And Non-Grey Literature, Marcus A. Banks
Towards A Continuum Of Scholarship: The Eventual Collapse Of The Distinction Between Grey And Non-Grey Literature, Marcus A. Banks
Copyright, Fair Use, Scholarly Communication, etc.
Abstract (from University of Arizona Campus Repository)
This paper argues that the distinction between grey and non-grey (or white) literature will become less relevant over time, as online discovery options proliferate. In the meantime, the political success of the open access publishing movement has valuable lessons for proponents of increasing access to grey literature.
