With school starting back up and the weather cooling down, the Law Library of Congress is happy to offer additional educational webinars for the first month of fall. The Law Library’s next offering in its Orientation to Legal Research Webinar Series will focus on an overview of U.S. federal statutes.
In September, our Orientation to Law Library Collections webinar will feature a special appearance by the staff of the Washington State Law Library as part of our 50 State Law Libraries Outreach Project. The purpose of the 50 State Law Libraries Outreach Project is to strengthen the ties between the Law Library of Congress and state law libraries by sharing information about our collections, products, and services with one another and with the public. Presenting from the Washington State Law Library will be Rob Mead, state law librarian.
