Library Newsletter

Law Library e-Newsletter Check out the Law Library's new e-Newsletter the Legal Beagle.

The Legal Beagle e-Newsletter is replacing the Law Library Briefs print newsletter to provide timely information and news about the Law Library’s resources and personnel. 

Future postings to the Legal Beagle will have tips on legal research and interesting items dug up by sniffing around the internet and pawing through news publications.

Law Library Briefs is designed to provide quick tips on researching, computer tips, and general library information.
