Trick or Treatise! Halloween Is On Its Way...

Halloween is a week away, and while many are busy planning their costumes, the Law Library invites you to take a moment to visit our display on the lower level, which has been "dressed up" with a Halloween theme!

The display offers search tips and "Tricks" using Google, as well as traditional legal research platforms, including WestlawNext, Lexis Advance, and Bloomberg Law.  Especially highlighted are ways to utilize BOO-Lean operators (we couldn't resist) as well as wildcard and truncation symbols.  The tips and tricks for Google can also be found at their support site here.  Boolean and search operators for the legal research databases (as well as almost any other library database) can usually be located under the Help features.

Also featured on the display are several of the Law Library's print "Treatises" along with information on locating treatises in the legal research databases as well as in the Law Library's collection.  Especially highlighted is the Law Library's LibGuide on Legal Treatises and Other Legal Reference Materials by Topic.
