The Law Library is pleased to celebrate the beginning of the new school year with a return to its regular blog series TubeDay Tuesday, our weekly feature of entertaining videos. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

Does the growing popularity of electronic readers like Amazon's Kindle portend the demise of the paper book? You be the judge: check out Round 1 of this humorous ten-part series of video shorts produced by San Francisco's Green Apple Books, in which the store's video crew debate the pros and cons of paper books and Amazon's Kindle. Enjoy!

Welcome! Here's an update with some important changes we implemented in the library for this year and some useful information:

• We have moved the ERes Course pages behind the Law School Intranet, which means you will now need to login with your LawNET or BOL username and password to get access to your course pages.  Please also note that the address has changed to http://eres.law.ucla.edu (although the old link still works).
• We have changed our beverage policy so that beverages are allowed only in sealable, reusable containers.  Beverages in disposable containers are strictly prohibited. This was done both to meet the demand for allowing usage of reusable containers other than the approved library mugs and to adopt a more environmentally friendly policy.
• We now have an online library tour available at http://www.law.ucla.edu/librarytour.
• We have created a Guide for First Year Law Students on LibGuides and even returning students might be interested in the section called:  Food/Fun Guide to UCLA & Westwood.
• We have a new look for our Tower Reading Room and Law & Popular Culture Video/DVD collection lists.
