New Digital Resources
The Law Library is pleased to announce the availability of three new digital resources:
Making of Modern Law: Trials, 1600 – 1926: http://www.lib.umn.edu/cgi-bin/mml_trials
This historical collection provides full text access to trial accounts, transcripts, briefs, arguments, and documents covering a vast range of trials from America, the British Empire and the world. This resource brings together over 10,000 titles held by the Harvard and Yale law libraries and the Library of the Bar of the City of New York. Full text searching capability allows researchers to explore these materials in ways that were not possible with print format.
HeinOnline’s U.S. Congressional Documents Collection: http://www.heinonline.org/HOL/Index?collection=congrec&set_as_cursor=clear
This new HeinOnline collection includes the complete Annals of Congress, Register of Debates, Congressional Globe, Journals of the Continental Congress, and American State Papers. Portions of the Congressional Record are now available, and Hein intends to have the complete Congressional Record available by mid-2008.
HeinOnline’s American Law Institute Library: http://www.heinonline.org/HOL/Index?collection=ali&set_as_cursor=clear
The initial release of the ALI library includes a digital version of the ALI Guide, Annual Reports, Proceedings of Annual Meetings, the ALI Reporter, the UCC, archival material from the Statement of Essential Human Rights, the Model Penal Code, and Restatement, Second, Torts. In the coming months, Hein will continue adding content to create a complete ALI collection.
Each of these collections is available campus-wide and via remote access.
