Library Week & 3L Champagne and Chocolate Party

This year, April 16-20, 2007, marks Library Week. In celebration, the Law Library has a few activities planned. 

Annual 3L Chocolate and Champagne Party

First, the annual Chocolate and Champagne party for 3Ls will be held Tuesday, April 17, from 2:00-4:00 in the library workroom (behind the circulation desk). Library staff hopes 3Ls will find time to stop by and looks forward to wishing our graduating class the best for their future. Westlaw and Lexis have generously allowed the library to donate student reward points to purchase library materials. Any 3Ls who have decided against using all of their points will be able to donate them to the library to purchase hornbooks, outlines, and nutshells.

Poetry Contest

Second, April is also Poetry Month. In celebration, the law library will sponsor a poetry contest for students. Pen a creative short poem or haiku for the chance to win a $10.00 gift certificate. See the display board in the law library for more information about the contest. The contest ends Monday, April 23, 2007.

Student Publication Tips and Faculty Publication Tips Websites

In addition, the law library is unveiling new websites with Student and Faculty Publication Tips. These sites compile electronic and paper resource information regarding publishing hints and useful links for submitting articles for publication. There is opportunity to publish in journals across the country for students and faculty, and these sites describe techniques to improve chances for publication, web sites to submit articles electronically, and the "do's and don’ts" for authors and law review editors.
