    Hi All,
     

    Greetings from the ALL-SIS Legal Research and Sourcebook Committee! I
    wanted to remind you all that once again we will be organizing the 2009
    Legal Research Round Table at this year’s AALL Annual Meeting in
    Washington, D.C.
     
    The Round Table is scheduled for Sunday July 26, 2009. It will start
    at 12:15 pm and end at 1:15 pm, WCC Room 146 B.
     
    We have some great discussion topics lined up for this year’s event, as
    well as some exceptional librarians to moderate each table.
     
    The topics include:
     Teaching basic legal research;

     Teaching advanced legal research;

     How to include new technologies into teaching legal research
    (including Twitter, Facebook);

     Teaching research for Foreign & international law;

     Teaching Specialized legal research courses;

     Teaching legal research to LLM students;

     Introducing low-cost or free alternatives to LexisNexis and Westlaw;

     Creating quizzes, exams, & homework assignments for legal research;

     Training summer associates & Bridging the Gap.

     
    This is the perfect opportunity to share what has worked for you and to
    learn new techniques. Please come and take advantage of this
    opportunity to learn new strategies for teaching legal research! This
    event has been very popular in the past so we recommend that you come
    EARLY and bring your lunch.
