Cu Law Library Launches New Resource For Historical Colorado Statutory Research, Robert Linz

Other Faculty Publications

Colorado legal researchers have a new tool for statutory research. The University of Colorado's William A.

The collection contains PDF files of session law volumes from 1861 (when the Territory of Colorado was created) through 1992.

A Survey Of Electronic Research Alternatives To Lexisnexis And Westlaw In Law Firms, Laura K. Justiss

Law Library Staff & Faculty Works

The author conducted a survey of law firm librarians in 2010 that identified electronic research database alternatives to LexisNexis and Westlaw and ranked them by subscription frequency. The survey also generated information regarding suggested or mandated legal research policies in law firms for the use of alternatives to LexisNexis and Westlaw and examined their applicability to billable and nonbillable research.

What's In A Name? A Gen Xer And Gen Yer Explore What It Means To Be Members Of Their Generations In The Workplace, Lauren M. Collins, Elizabeth A. Yates

Law Faculty Articles and Essays

In the NextGen Librarian's Survival Guide by Rachel Singer Gordon, the author cites several reasons this time is different than times before in librarianship. Those that are most relevant to law librarianship include:

• Flattening workplace hierarchies and participative management increase the input of newer librarians in workplace decision making

• New technologies require changing skills that affect attitudes toward the integration of those technologies into our daily work

• Outside pressures, such as the prevalence of the Internet, impose a need for librarians to continually prove our relevance and improve relations with younger patrons

• The much talked about …

Expand Your Online Research Abilities, Laura K. Justiss

Law Library Staff & Faculty Works

As a summer clerk or full-time associate at a law firm (or as a solo practitioner), you are likely to encounter research projects for which neither Lexis nor Westlaw is a good option. Perhaps the material isn't available on these databases at all. Or, your firm may have a limited subscription that excludes the information you need. You also may find that some content on Lexis or Westlaw costs more than your firm or client is willing to pay. In these circumstances, it's important to know that the two most prominent databases used by lawyers are not the only ones …

Leaky Boundaries And The Decline Of The Autonomous Law School Library, James G. Milles

Journal Articles

Academic law librarians have long insisted on the value of autonomy from the university library system, usually basing their arguments on strict adherence to ABA standards. However, law librarians have failed to construct an explicit and consistent definition of autonomy. Lacking such a definition, they have tended to rely on an outmoded Langdellian view of the law as a closed system. This view has long been discredited, as approaches such as law and economics and sociolegal research have become mainstream, and courts increasingly resort to nonlegal sources of information. Blind attachment to autonomy as a goal rather than a means …
