iPads Now Available for Check Out
|
|
The
Law Library now has two iPads that students can check out. We have
loaded them with a variety of legal apps so students can try out
the mobile versions of familiar tools like Lexis Advance, Westlaw Next,
and Hein Online, and learn about new utilities like LawStack, Oyez
Today, and Rate Driver. The devices also have several productivity apps
such as GoodReader, Office2 HD, and DropBox.
We hope that students who try out the iPads will bring suggestions of additional apps that we can make available.
[Curious about productivity apps? Be sure to attend this week's Lunch-n-Learn!]

New Resource: Supreme Court Nominations Database
|
|
The Law Library now has access to the History of Supreme Court Nominations
in HeinOnline. This resource allows full text searching of documents
relating to every Supreme Court nomination from John Jay to Elena Kagan.
This database provides information on both successful and unsuccessful
attempts at confirmation, and researchers can browse the materials by
Justice, resource title, or by specific document.
Available documents include transcripts of the entire confirmation
hearing, judiciary committee hearings, House and Senate reports, law
review articles on the nominations of justices, pre-nomination
speculation, memoranda on the nomination, and much more.

Refill Your Water Bottles Here!
|
|
Tired of tilting your reusable water bottle at an awkward angle only to get a half-filled bottle?
Struggle no more!
The Law Library recently joined the select locations on the UGA campus
equipped with a water bottle refilling station. The station replaces our
old drinking fountain on the 2nd Floor of the Annex (near the women's
restroom).
When you place your water bottle in the dispenser, a sensor detects its presence and begins filling automatically.
Now it's easy to be green and stay hydrated!
