Wishing Myrtle Miller a Happy Retirement
Maureen Cahill, Student Services Librarian
|
|
Please
join everyone at the Law Library in wishing our Circulation Manager,
Myrtle Miller , a happy, fun-filled retirement. Myrtle's last day at
the library will be January 28th.
She joined the library staff in 1996, after working in the library at
Middle Georgia College for several years. And, for the last 15 years,
Myrtle has been the backbone of our fine circulation department. She
arrives at 6-something am every day, to open the library. She hires and
supervises our student workers. Most importantly she brings her
nurturing, good humored personality to the department. Everyone who
works in circulation or has any dealings at the desk has depended on
that for many years. We will all miss Myrtle.

Going Green Is Easy
Carol Watson, Director of the Law Library
|
Go green and save money with the UGA Law Library's Knowledge Image Center (KIC) aka our new FREE "green" photocopier service.
The green photocopier, which is located in our library copy room,
enables you to scan library materials or your own documents at a high
speed and save them to a USB drive or e-mail them to yourself.
Documents can be saved in pdf, tiff, png, jpeg or text format.
No more pressing your books or notes against the glass plate of the
photocopier! No more Bulldawg Bucks! Instead of
carrying around stacks of paper, scan your materials and carry them on
a USB drive in your pocket.
The green photocopier is simple to use. No user training is needed. So
the next time you need to copy something, save a tree and save your
wallet. This simple free service revolutionizes photocopying. And did
we mention it is free?

Celebrating Desegration at UGA
Sharon Bradley, Special Collections Librarian
|
|
|
As UGA kicks of its Celebrating Courage: 50th Anniversary of Desegregation
activities, we note that the Law School admitted its first
African-American student, Chester Davenport, in 1963, two years after
Charlayne Hunter and Hamilton Holmes broke the color barrier at UGA.
Davenport received his J.D. in 1966. He had also served as an editor of
the
Georgia Law Review. He went on to a successful career as an
attorney and businessman. In 2004 Davenport delivered the 97th Sibley
Lecture and spoke about his experiences as the first African-American
student at UGA Law. Visit our Digital Commons to
view the video.
Another significant event in 1961 was the May 6 visit to UGA by Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. He delivered the
Law Day speech and spoke about the recent events on campus. See our guide
Law Day Address by Robert F. Kennedy for links to the various versions of the speech and an audio recording.
