Posted on Posted in Library News and Events Tagged with ,

 Research Strategies for Efficiency & Organization Research Certificate Seminar is tomorrow, October 14th, 5pm-5:30pm, in Law Library Room A059.

Here are key points about the Law Library Research Certificate Seminars this Fall 2015 semester:

  • You do not need to register in order to take a Seminar –  simply come to the Seminar(s) you want to attend.  We will take attendance at each Seminar, to be sure you are credited points as you earn them.
  • We are offering several 30-minute, very focused Seminars, in addition to 60-minute, in-depth Seminars.  Hands-on exercises continue to be important features of our Seminars, so bring your laptop or iPad to get the most out of our discussion.
  • You earn 12.5 points for attending a 30-minute Seminar, and 25 points for attending a 60-minute Seminar.  [You cannot earn points for attending (in-person or online) the same Seminar twice.]  Your Seminar points are good for the entire time you are here at C|M|Law.  When you earn 100 points, you are awarded a Law Library Research Certificate, and you can earn multiple Certificates.
  • If you earn a Certificate within the 2015-2016 academic year, you will be entered into a drawing for a $150 Amazon gift card!

Online Seminars may be made available later this semester.
