Welcome back from Fall Break! We missed seeing you around the library, but we’re glad you got to rest and hopefully enjoy being outside as much as possible before the dark wet is upon us.

Law Library News:

We’d like to continue getting feedback about casebooks being on course reserve for 2-hour loans at the law library. This survey is a total of 3 multiple choice questions and 1 open ended question and should take you somewhere between 1-2 minutes or less (unless you are procrastinating reading for class, writing your seminar paper, or researching for your lawyering memo, in which case you can really ruminate for a while if you need to).

Please take this survey!

Law Library Resource Highlight:

  • Not to burst your joyful autumn bubble, but the grey and rainy season will soon be here. Luckily, the law library has umbrellas that you can check out for up to 3 days at a time so you can still go home to eat hot soup without getting absolutely drenched. Simply walk up to the circulation desk during open hours and ask for an umbrella!
  • Are you writing an article or note for a class or for law review this semester? Don’t forget that you can always reach out to lawref@cornell.edu for help with research, and that good research tends to go deeper than Google (not everything exists on the internet)… For ideas on finding sources outside of Google, try searching through our catalog to find books, articles, and more! Here is a guide on searching for books and articles

Local Library Highlight:

  • Mann Library is hosting a panel discussion on November 4, 4pm-5:30pm in Mann Room 160 titled Indigenous Perspectives in Higher Education: Reflecting on the Past to Inform the Future. This panel discussion is in conjunction with the opening of the new Cornell University Library exhibit “Redressing Histories of Early Hodinǫ̱hsǫ́:nih Women at Cornell, 1914-1942” in the Mann Library lobby. This panel discussion will expand upon the Cornell College of Human Ecology’s early history and examine current institutional practices and contexts that can better support the success, health, and well-being of Indigenous students in higher education today. 
  • Panelists will include: Meredith Palmer (Tuscarora of Six Nations at Grand River; Department of Geography & Department of Indigenous Studies at the University at Buffalo); Adam Hoffman (Dept. of Psychology, College of Human Ecology at Cornell University); Renata Leitao (Dept. of Human-Centered Design, College of Human Ecology & the American Indian and Indigenous Study Program at Cornell University)
  • Immediately following the panel discussion an opening reception will take place in the Mann Library lobby, 5:30 – 6:30 p.m.
