Getting Law Students Into The Law Library: The University Of Michigan Succeeds With A Plan, Jennifer L. Selby
Law Librarian Scholarship
The goal of the University of Michigan Law Library's Awareness Campaign was to raise the consciousness of law students about the many ways in which librarians here can help them succeed as students now and as lawyers later.

Microfiche Checking And Refilming At The University Of Michigan Law Library, Kincaid C. Brown
Law Librarian Scholarship

Introduction To "Books", Margaret A. Leary
Articles
It's well known that graduate William B. Cook's generosity provided the Law School with its trademark Gothic Law Quadrangle. It is less universally known that Cook endowed the Law School with a trust to support faculty research, and had a strong interest in the nature of that research. He chose to call the library building "Legal Research" and to inscribe above the main entrance "Learned and cultured lawyers are safeguards of the republic." Cook often said that the lack of "intellectual leadership 1s the greatest problem which faces America," and he wanted this Law School to provide that missing leadership. …
