Terms & Connectors Searching Research Certificate Seminar Tomorrow

Posted on Posted in HeinOnline, Lexis and Westlaw, Library News and Events Tagged with ,

The Terms & Connectors Searching Research Certificate Seminar is this Wednesday, October 21st, 4:50pm-5:50pm, in Law Library Room A059.  Students who attend this Seminar will earn 25 points toward a Law Library Research Certificate.

If you want to learn more in-depth methods for searching legal databases, then this Seminar is for you.  We will work through many research issues and discuss how to construct effective terms & connectors search statements.

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.

Here is a list of the two remaining Fall 2015 semester Seminar dates, times, and topics:

  • November 4th –  4:50pm-5:50pm –  Administrative Law Research –  We’ll show you how to find regulations, administrative decisions, and agency guidance, as well as how to track pending regulations.  In addition to your laptop or iPad, bring your Bloomberg, Lexis, and Westlaw passwords to get the most out of the discussion.
