GDL students will soon be embarking on their Preparing for Practice (PfP) essays / problems.  The library is offering two workshops designed to help you with your PfP coursework research:-

Finding commentary

How to find commentary using legal dictionaries, encyclopaedias and practitioner texts including Halsburys Laws.  It will also include discussion of how to find and reserve textbooks using the library catalogue.

  • 10.00am Monday 12 December
  • 2.45pm Tuesday 13 December
  • 10.30am Saturday 17 December

Finding Journals

How to find journal and newspaper articles using the legal databases, library catalogue and hard-copy library resources.  It will also include explanation of our journal article request service.

  • 11.00am Monday 12 December
  • 3.45pm Tuesday 13 December
  • 11.30am Saturday 17 December

I will be leaving the College at Christmas, so have scheduled these workshops especially for GDL students, who may want to make a start on their PfP research during the Christmas vacation.  I hope that my replacement will offer further workhops in the new year – although this may not be until February or March 2012.

If you would like to attend one or both of the workshops, please sign-up to the register on ELITE.   ELITE > My Centre > Click here for more info > Library > Library Workshops – Sign-Up Here!  Places are limited, although I have increased places to 30 per workshop, to ensure that as many students as possible are able to attend.
