    Elaine,
     
    Are you interested in print or online research? Free or pay resources or
    both? Legal research or investigative research, or both?
     
    It's not a DVD, but If you are interested in a training book on
    free/low cost Web research (legal and investigative sites/databases),
    I'm just revising our seminar book (it will be in its 10th edition), The
    Cybersleuth's Guide to the Internet . It has loads of screen shots (the
    legal research chapter has over 80 new screen shots and about 150
    pages). I do have video for the older edition of the book (search
    strategies and investigative research only) that links the screen shots
    to the book pages, but I won't have new video until mid-August when the
    book is ready and we do a seminar based on it in Richmond, VA.
     
    Let me know your interest (and I'd love to hear from other librarians).
    Maybe I could create something based on the 10th edition of my book. I
    don't do any legal research seminars these day, but concentrate on
    search strategies and investigative research. The legal research
    chapters of The Cybersleuth's Guide really aren't being used to their
    fullest and maybe they could be if I added a DVD... You've got me
    thinking...
     
    If anyone out there in law lib world would want to collaborate, let me
    know.

    Libbers - Associate training has once again taken center stage. The Bob Berring tapes "Commando Legal Research" were excellent, but were done in 1990.

    Has any used tapes/DVDs on learning/teaching legal research similar to the Commando tapes but more recent?

    Thanks in advance. I'll summarize for the list if any interest.
