Products covered a range of materials including research databases, electronic newsletters, litigation materials, transactional resources, ebooks, reference books, tax research, and Congressional materials.

The Law Librarians also offered demonstrations of HeinOnline, and law school helpers such as CALI, CVN Law School, LawGuides and the Study Room Reservation system. Due to the unprecedented demand, the eight scheduled librarian demonstrations were offered continuously until 4pm. One vendor even stayed until 4:30pm to finish a presentation for three eager students!
Throughout the day attendees were treated to breakfast snacks, lunch, afternoon snacks, and many giveaways by vendors including pens, notepads, sticky notes, stress balls, shopping bags, and lunch bags.
