Citation Sources For Legal Scholarship: Ranking The Top 28 Law Faculties, John R. Beatty
Law Librarian Contributions to Books
This study examines the effects of the data source on citation metrics and faculty rankings by comparing three sources of legal scholarship citation data: Google Scholar, Westlaw, and HeinOnline. It compares six years of citations to works by all of the tenured and tenure-track members of the top twenty-eight faculties as determined by two recent legal citation studies. Rankings generated using the Leiter-Sisk method on the data from the three sources showed moderate to high correlation (0. 77 to 0. 96) to each other. Total citations and total publications for each faculty were moderately to highly correlated to rankings, while …
Academic Law Librarian Credentials And Student Loan Debt, Olivia R. Smith Schlinck
Academic Law Librarian Credentials And Student Loan Debt, Olivia R. Smith Schlinck
Library Staff Online Publications
When Joe Biden announced some student loan debt forgiveness last week, borrowers everywhere let out a collective (if muted) sigh of relief: finally. The student loan debt crisis and resulting debate is well-documented and I won’t go into more detail on it in general. But I’ve been thinking about the relationship between student debt and librarian credentials and the emerging crisis in academic law libraries: too many job openings, not enough qualified candidates. It’s all connected. But how?

Presentations
In this 30-minute session, the speaker will give a brief explanation of the cognitive science and andragogy principles behind the “lecture, exercise, review as a group, repeat” model for classes. This will be followed by a demo of how to execute this model, focusing on how to use the role-playing game Dungeons and Dragons as a framework for the “review as a group” portion of the model, and how that framework can be used to successfully guide student interactions.
We’Re All Historical Researchers Now: The Impact Of Dobbs On Legal Research Instruction, Olivia R. Smith Schlinck
We’Re All Historical Researchers Now: The Impact Of Dobbs On Legal Research Instruction, Olivia R. Smith Schlinck
Library Staff Online Publications
Congratulations, it’s July, which means you have officially survived what may very well be considered the most consequential Supreme Court term in the history of the United States. Simply existing in this country over the past few weeks (months? years?) feels like trying to swim through rapidly drying concrete. Avoiding the news is impossible if for no other reason than the direct impact so much of the news of late has on the job of a law librarian. Imagine teaching a legal research class at the end of this past SCOTUS sitting? I’ll spare you the image because I did, …
Using “Live” Assignments For Formative Assessment, Olivia R. Smith Schlinck
Using “Live” Assignments For Formative Assessment, Olivia R. Smith Schlinck
Library Staff Online Publications
At the Teaching the Teachers Conference a few weeks ago, I gave a demonstration of a formative assessment style we’ve been using at my institution for the past year and a half: a live assignment, AKA the Research Practicum. The presentation was virtual; COVID struck, of course, and I couldn’t get on a plane and fly to Portland. Fortunately, the nature of this assessment lends itself beautifully to a pivot to virtual because it is already entirely virtual. The Research Practicum uses Zoom or some other video conferencing platform and asks students to research while sharing their screen as their …

It’s mid-May which, in the law school world, means finals, grading, graduation and the impending summer. As the spring semester winds to a close, I’ve been finding myself staring at a mostly blank – beautifully, thankfully blank – summer calendar and wondering: how will I fill my time?

Using The “Scholarship As Conversation” Frame To Explain The Importance Of Inclusive Citation, Olivia R. Smith Schlinck
Library Staff Online Publications
It’s been nearly two years since the largest civil rights movement – the protests stemming from the murder of George Floyd by a police officer – swept the United States. That means it has also been nearly two years since law schools across the country released statements and created taskforces and enacted initiatives to inject principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) into the school halls.

On The Academic Librarian Pay Disparity, Olivia R. Smith Schlinck
On The Academic Librarian Pay Disparity, Olivia R. Smith Schlinck
Library Staff Online Publications
Last month, I posted to this blog the results of my study comparing the salaries of tenure-track law professors and law librarians who teach required, credit-bearing classes. The reaction was overwhelming; clearly, the proof that law librarians were underpaid – something many librarians had assumed for many years – hit a chord within the profession. Librarians across the country contacted me publicly and privately to express their shock (or lack thereof), their frustration, their personal anecdotes about being underpaid and struggling to make ends meet. Eventually, this culminated in an event hosted by the AALL Research Crits Caucus on Monday, …

Leveraging Interactive Maps As A Resource Discovery Tool: Envisioning A Repository, Collection Or Series With A Map-Driven Interface, Rachel S. Evans, Keelan Weber
Sandbox Series
Those of us with Digital Commons sites may already have download based live-maps embedded on one or more landing pages of our collections. What if we created a map for end-users to search our series in new ways? In this sandbox, two members of the LSRD-SIS executive board come together to share a show-and-tell-style tour of 3 map-based interfaces for a variety of legal resources, from in-house developed examples to a larger database provider like HeinOnline. Through these examples, we hope attendees will engage in brainstorming ways we could creatively integrate maps to leverage them as a more user-centered discovery …

Identifying Red Herrings In American Legal Research, Erin Gow
Faculty Scholarship
This article presents useful clues for British law librarians and legal researchers conducting research on American laws and legal systems. It focuses on general guidelines and key sticking points the author found when transitioning between legal research in the American and British jurisdictions.
Key skills introduced include the ability to:
- differentiate between federal and state legal jurisdictions in the U.S.,
- recognize key differences in American legal terminology and construct searches using American terms,
- analyze and select key American legal resources for different types of research questions,
- and identify American standards of legal citation.
