You’ve (almost) made it (survived) through the first 3 weeks of classes! Congratulations! Remember, law school is a marathon, not a sprint, so try to pace yourself now to avoid burnout later.
Law Library News:
We’d like to get some 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, in which case you can really ruminate for a while if you need to).
Please take our survey! PollEv.com/casebook
Law Library Resource Highlight:
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… 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:
Next week, on Thursday, September 19 from 4:30-7:00 p.m. there will be an Exhibit Opening: Black Print: African American Writing, 1773-1910 in the Hirshland Exhibition Gallery, located on Level 2B in the Carl A. Kroch Library on campus.
There will be a gallery tour (4:30-5:30 p.m.) led by curator Derrick Spires, followed by an opening reception (5:30-7:00 p.m.).
Before social media, before #BlackTwitter, there was nineteenth-century Black print. This exhibition draws on Cornell’s rich Africana Rare and Manuscript Collections to celebrate a robust community of writers thinking actively about Black life, Black art, and freedom through the press. It highlights the many ways Black Americans used print as a space for artistic expression, communication and organizing, antislavery activism, humor, education, civil rights, and more. Black Print features works in Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections by Phillis Wheatley, Frederick Douglass, Frances E. W. Harper, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Sojourner Truth, and many others.
More details about the exhibit opening on 09/19 can be found here.
