From Research Buzz:

Seems like every time you turn around you hear the word webinar. All it means is a seminar or presentation that’s held on the Web, but to me it also means, “I’m sure there are tons of cool presentations out there and many of them are free, but I don’t think I’ll be able to find them all.” I feel better now that I know about WebinarListings at http://www.webinarlistings.com/.

Law Libraries Rated...

The March 2010 issue of National Jurist (pp. 22-29) ranks 198 law libraries for resources, service, and space. See "What Makes a Great Library" by Keith Carter. The top 50 are listed in the article.

Now that Spring is really here (we hope), how about bringing some of that freshness into the office? An article at American Libraries suggests adding plants that, as well as making things look more inviting, help purify air that may be contaminated by common chemicals.
