{Apologies for cross-posting}

Greetings Law-Lib,

We write to inform you of improvements and updates to InSITE and the Legal Research Engine at Cornell Law Library.

The InSITE website has been revamped and now features a quick search on the home page, in addition to the advanced search previously available.  We've also added a great new feature that allows anyone to search all the websites ever annotated by InSITE with a single click.  This is a full search of over 1,000 law-related websites that have been vetted by professional law librarians.  It is updated with each new issue of InSITE. 

Over at the Legal Research Engine, we've added a few new specialty search engines to help researchers find the best of the web quickly and easily.  The original search to find authoritative legal research guides remains (NOTE: if you previously added this gadget to your google homepage, you will need to DELETE the former gadget and ADD it again due to technical issues.  We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you).  We've added the new InSITE search, mentioned above, here, as well as a search that is limited to academic blawgs (plus a few extras) to help legal researchers find quality commentary quickly.  As an added bonus, we've combined all three of these searches into a single engine: I want it all! 

The web addresses for these pages remain the same, so if you have been kind enough to link to either InSITE or the Legal Research Engine, no updating should be necessary.  If you're interested in adding any of these search gadgets to your website, we can provide you with a link to do that, just ask.

We hope these new and improved features help and your constituents conduct research on the web.  

All the best,
