CassidyCat's Digital Law LibrarySM
CassidyCat's Digital Law Library is an instant law collection that will fit into any sized library! These records allow you to build your law collection when you couldn't afford to expand on it before. In addition to costing a fraction of your acquisitions budget, this collection will take up no extra space on the shelf!
This collection contains over 3,000 MARC21 catalog records for free legal research websites - all selected, evaluated and annotated by our talented JD/MLS librarian. The Collection includes primary sources for all 50 states and federal agencies, sites for Homeland Security, the new White House access, international trade and customs, intellectual property law, criminal law, securities, banking, "How I run my library well", OBS-SIS websites of the month, and a host of other topics!
Just one search in your library's catalog will offer print resources along with electronic resources via hyperlink. The included links, once clicked, will bring your researcher directly to that particular resource. This means that any researcher with access to your catalog from another location may also use these records. They will be amazed at how many hits they get on any subject they research!
Each month we perform URL-checking to catch dead links and then locate replacement websites and update the catalog records. The updated records are distributed with new titles every month!
CassidyCat's Digital Law Library is not only useful for the academic sector and private firm but also for general libraries! No new software will ever have to be purchased, as the Library installs the .MRC files directly into your existing OPAC.

- Law in popular culture collection. Abstract: "The average American's understanding of our legal system is both reflected and shaped by our popular culture. Best sellers, movie theaters, and prime time television have long been inundated with images of lawyers, whether as savior-like heroes, despicable villains or complex human beings. The goal of this collection is to provide as broad a picture as possible of the image of the lawyer in the United States and British Commonwealth." This collection of the Tarlton Law Library of the University of Texas at Austin includes books, videos, and other physical materials, but the site provides an extensive body of material online, including bibliographies, essays, e-texts, information about lawyers on television, quotations, and links.
- Best practices: What first-year law students should learn in a legal research class. Abstract: "Legal research instructors seldom have adequate class time to teach students the print and online sources needed to complete a research task successfully. However, there are core principles that first-year students should learn in a legal research class. The author discusses best practices in teaching the legal research process, along with the important research sources, including judicial opinions and reporters, digests and finding cases, statutes, administrative publications, updating research with citators, and secondary sources." --abstract on Social Science Research Network (SSRN) website.
