No Doom in Store for You!

  • Browse the printed study aid collection in the Reference 2 area.
  • Review your knowledge with the more than one thousand CALI lessons.
  • Reserve a study room for some quiet time or collaboration with your colleagues.
  • Stop by the circulation desk to literally put the finishing touches on your paper with a stapler or hole punch.

Election Day and More This Week

Posted on by

A Special Week

With November having started on a Tuesday, Election Day was pushed back to November 8th, just a few days before Veterans Day. We’ve put our Veterans Day post from two years ago on the front page. Leading the week with our opportunity to elect our president, senators, house members, general assembly members, and other public officials and then ending the week with a remembrance of those who serve our country in the military, gives us twice the usual opportunity to reflect on the roles played by citizens in our nation. Please vote Tuesday, if you have not already done so!

Learn more about elections and elected representatives!

    Open Access Week focuses on efforts around the globe to put scholarly literature in all fields, including law, within easy reach of students, scholars, and the general public. Open Access publications are available online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. The Marx Law Library and the University of Cincinnati Libraries both sponsor Open Access Scholarship Repositories.

    Banned Books Week Calls Attention to YOUR Right to Be Informed

    Posted on by

    Display Hightlights “Banned Books Week”

    This week we join the American Library Association and libraries across the country in calling attention to the infringement of your right to read by those who seek to ban books from libraries and other venues. The ALA has published its 2015 list of most challenged books. You’ll note that both fiction and nonfiction books are included, and the reasons that bans were sought vary. Librarians believe that the worth of a book is to be judged by each reader, and that the sharing of ideas and subjecting them to open discussion is the best way to promote discerning judgment in a free society. Please stop by the library to look at our display of posters and on the digital screen, created by Lisa Wernke and Susan Boland.

    Upcoming Legal Research Training Sessions

    • Friday, September 30th
      • Professor Smith’s Section 1
