UCLA Law School goes to Largo!

5/5: This just in! Email me if you would like to go--the kind folks at Largo will reserve some seats together for our group! I just need to let them know how many!

Please join us on May 8 for an end of the law school year musical celebration at Largo at the Coronet. See the critically acclaimed, astoundingly talented multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter, producer Jon Brion in one of his famous Friday night shows. 

The show starts at 9:30pm and the cost is $25. You can pay cash at the door or purchase tickets by credit card in advance by calling Largo directly at (310)855-0350 (no additional service charges). I highly recommend getting the tickets as soon as possible because the venue is fairly small and his shows often sell out.  I hope to see you there! Invite your friends!

If you don't know about Jon Brion, I encourage you to read this very recent (4/21/09) interview with him from LAist.com.  There is also a great L.A. Times article about Largo and its move to the historic Coronet Theater last year. 

Finally, here's a clip of Jon Brion playing from the Largo film released in 2008:

Keeping it Green!

The Law Library now has a battery recycling bin located at the Circulation Desk. Please bring your batteries in for recycling. And, we have two plastic bottle/can recycling containers located in the Libray: one in the After-hours Reading room and one in the first floor photocopying (1112P). We hope you will find this an easy way to recycle!

Announcing LibGuides, Important Summer Research Information....and a free flashlight!

The Law Library is pleased to introduce our new online research guide system, LibGuides, available at http://libguides.law.ucla.edu. These guides are prepared for use by the Law School community and we hope you will find them useful for your summer jobs. This online format will allow you browse our guides by subject, search by keyword or click on subject “tags” that have been assigned to each guide. For example, you will find step-by-step research guides on federal tax research, employment law research, online legal research beyond LexisNexis and Westlaw, how to research United Nations materials and many others. To launch this newproduct, we will be placing flashlights imprinted with the LibGuides web address in your student mailboxes on Tuesday, April 14. These flashlights can be attached to your key ring or backpack. (Important Note about the flashlights: you need to unscrew the bottom and remove a small plastic circle piece on the bottom battery for the light to work.)

On LibGuides, you will also find a link to other important summer information, including Westlaw and Lexis access, your Loislaw password and library summer hours. We hope you will find LibGuides useful and look forward to your comments on our current guides and suggestions for new guides.

Bloomberg Law Account and Training Sign-ups: April 15

Dear all 2Ls and 3Ls,

Due to popular demand, Bloomberg will be returning to the Law School next week to set up new accounts, revive terminated accounts, or provide training on Wednesday, April 15, 2009.

Mary McBride of Bloomberg will be located in the Law School's clinical lab between 9:00 and 5:00. To make an appointment, please email Mary (mjmcbride@bloomberg.net) directly.

The new Bloomberg Law service is an all-inclusive tool providing legal analysis, filings, opinions, real-time and archival news, and company and financial information. Once you receive your Bloomberg account, you will be able to access the service via the Web using a biometric device, called the B-Unit. You can keep your free account for up to six months after graduation.

Thank you,

Vicki
