In the "My Favorite Tipples" section of the 8th December 2008, No.267 issue of the FreePint Newsletter, Diane Raper tells us about finding useful legal information for law students. So if you are engaged in assisting law students finding information , this is a must read for you.
Excerpt:
By Diane Raper
Of course, my favourite no.1 Tipple has to be the website I run and maintain - Lawlinks. It not only contains links to all the sites I want our students to use, but it gives them help and support for all the occasions when they need help and guidance and I am not there. It also acts as a shortcut answer for lots of FAQs - I just email links rather than long explanations.
Diane Raper currently works at the Templeman Library at the University of Canterbury where she is the academic services liaison librarian for law. She worked for a number of years in the City of London managing information services for law firms and the Law Society before making a career change and working as a service development manager in the NHS. She has been back working in law for the last two years and enjoys teaching a new generation of lawyers how to use legal source materials and managing the Lawlinks website.
Diane also researched and wrote a comparative review of LexisNexis Butterworths and Westlaw UK for the June 2008 issue of VIP Magazine.
