Legal Research for the Non-Law Librarian

Join the Supreme Court Law Library staff as we discuss basic legal research for all librarians.  We will talk about how Ohio laws, both statutes and regulations, operate and how to help patrons coming into your library.  Discover how the Supreme Court Law Library can help you and enjoy a tour of the historic Thomas J. Moyer Ohio Judicial Center.  Our presenters are Marissa Mason, Research Librarian, and Erin Waltz, Public Service Manager, of the Supreme Court of Ohio Law Library.
