Hi Everyone - I just wanted to send an e-mail to invite you and your staffs to the Department of the Interior Library on Wednesday, July 27th from 2:00 to 4:00 pm for a training session entitled "Advanced Legal Research on Westlaw," part of our series of free training sessions at the DOI Library. Attendees will take research skills learned in the “Westlaw: Introduction and New Features” courses, or Weslaw legal research skills they already have, to the next level. Those participating will learn how to conduct advanced case-law research on Westlaw’s legal and legislative databases. This includes learning how to find cases by attorney or judge's name, date, and jurisdiction. They will be shown how to explore statutory materials and learn how to combine the best of book and online research with Westlaw's online Table of Contents. Additionally, they will examine KeyCite's unique features that allow researchers to fine-tune their result by legal issue, jurisdiction, and other selected criteria. Participants will learn how to personalize Westlaw to meet their own unique research needs. This program will be conducted by a Westlaw trainer. All that are interested are invited. The DOI Library is located in the Main Interior Building, located at 1849 C Street, NW, Room 1151 in Washington. Space is limited so please contact the Library by phone at (202) 208-5815 or by e-mail at [log in to unmask] to let us know you will be coming. Please Note: This class is also being offered to remote users as a simultaneous online webinar via WebEx. Please contact the DOI Library by e-mail at [log in to unmask] for information on how to register for WebEx access to the class. For more information about future DOI Library Training Sessions, we encourage you to visit our Training Sessions website at http://library.doi.gov/programs/training/index.html . We hope that you can attend either in person or virtually on July 27th!
