Welcome to LexLibris, the new blog for the U of MN Law Library!

Our goal is to make this blog a useful tool for the law school students, faculty and staff. We aim to keep the law school community abreast of recent developments in the world of legal research, as well as what's happening in the library. We'll spotlight collections, introduce staff, explain common reference queries, and alert you to changes in hours or other library policies, with a few fun things thrown in for good measure.

If you are interested in subscribing to a notification service so you're alerted when new entries are made to the blog, there are links on the side of this blog. You can also receive email notifications by sending your email address to lawlib@umn.edu. This is also the email address to use when you'd like to submit comments, questions, or suggestions about the blog.

Congratulations to Professor Tom Cotter who made the winning suggestion for the name. He won a $50 gift card to either Best Buy or Target.

Welcome!
