BLS Library will hold its annual LibraryFest this Thursday, September 25, from 12:30 to 4:30 pm on the first floor of the library. This year, more vendors than ever will be on hand to showcase their legal research platforms to students and give away swag. Lexis, Westlaw, Bloomberg Law, Wolters Kluwer, ProQuest, EBSCO, Oxford University Press, and CALI will all be represented! BLS librarians will also be there to show students a variety of research tools available through the library website. 

This will be an excellent opportunity to learn about the many legal research resources available to BLS students! If you are a 1L, it is a great way to be introduced to the features of these research platforms. If you are a 2L, 3L or 4L, you are likely to discover new resources that will be helpful as you tackle research papers, undertake research projects for your externship, or work on developing practice-ready skills. In addition, students who visit at least four vendors can enter the raffle. Many gift cards and other prizes, including a 50-inch TV, will be raffled off! The library will notify prize winners by email, so you do not have to be present at the drawing to win.

LibraryFest will be a lot of fun, and we hope to see you there!
